OK.  I know I'm gonna get bashed but I have to ask.
While trying to do some research on the net about parts/reviews.  I kept being sent to Air Soft crap.  While doing so I see that the flash hiders are Red/Orange.  Here is my question.

If you where to paint the flash hider on a AR-15 Red/Orange to look like a Air Soft gun.  Could there be any legal issues with this???   That is my dumb question.   THANKS!!!!

Don't think it's illegal, but the question is -- WHY?

I guess the freshmen class of '12 was pretty bad too.

What are you planning to do with your airsoft looking gun?

Don't... just... no.

Just was one of those dumb thoughts that I had today.   Yes one of many.   Strictly was wondering if this could cause a problem.  In the regards that the color Red/Orange indicates its a toy.  

That's why Air Soft stuff has them Right????

its not illegal, but if you plan to bring your real gun to places or show it in places where it would be illegal to have a real gun...

well I hope you caught my drift

It's not illegal, that I know of, but isn't very smart.

Imagine getting stopped by a cop and he see your black rifle with a painted orange muzzle device. He may think you're up to something nefarious and welcomes the man into your life.

Just keep it at a stupid question.

Now I have a question: Can someone who has an order preventing them from owning firearms own airsoft guns?

i believe in CA it is illegal and in a couple other states aswell.  either way sounds like a really, really dumb idea.

Seems like a good way to get airsoft banned, or have mandates requiring that they are clear plastic.

I'd guess yes. Why not. No 4473 no possession of a firearm, right?
Even in ny an air soft isn't a firearm. I think. I'll go check now.

Seems legal most places.

Had a member here a couple Halloweens ago that wanted to dress all tacticool as asked if it would be smart to paint his muzzle device orange on his real AR.

He got ripped a new one pretty badly.

It's illegal in CA, IL, and NY.

Other states, you are just not too bright by trying to make a real firearm appear to be a toy firearm.   That only gets kids with toy guns shot.

Probably not illegal, but most assuredly stupid.
