This project turned out better than expected. I'm getting ready to start building some custom 6.8s and have built a few "proof of concept" carbines and rifles to help generate some ideas. On this one, I wanted to see what a mid-length system with a rifle-length quadrail forearm and front flip sight/gas block would look like. After I got it together, I decided to take it a step further and try a detailed, 4-color "mirageflage" pattern. This is an armalite SOF-A M4 profile midlength that was in a ban config. I removed the pinned muzzle break, fixed telestock, and fsb. I threaded it and added the phantom. I took a rifle-length YHM quadrail and cut out the section for the PRI flip-up gas block/front sight. I rounded the edges from the cutout and cut a end-cap to fit the remaining space. I added a Magpul 93B w/ strike plate and a YHM rear flip-up sight, Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard, and Magpul Panels. I used Duracoat with the mirageflage templates - OD Green, Coyote Brown, Woodland Brown, and Flat Black. Any feedback appreciated.

. Funny how the more un-noticeable, the more notable

Wow, thanks guys. Re question below - if you're worried about heat and want to stay with a duracoat product, check out their duraheat product: www.lauerweaponry.com/index.cfm?Category=280
