View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By delta_romeo_echo: Originally Posted By secretwheelman: You got a color breakdown on these? Ditto! Sweet camo job. Brand, colors, process? Give us the deets! Thanks for the compliments - I haven't painted that many rifles, those are #1 and #3 in that pattern, as I just did the Noveske / Nightforce combo this spring. Here in the FL Panhandle, the humidity / weather limits the useful painting season to around 2-4 weeks in the spring and then again in the fall - otherwise it's too cold / too hot / too humid for it to be worth the effort. I'm sure a pro can paint year around but all I have is my back porch and yard, lol - so the elements are a definite factor. I have gotten rifles ready to paint before and then abandoned the attempt when the rainy season started early. The scheme is my take on Multicam Tropic and the paint is (in order) Aervoe Light Green (AE951 base coat, all over), then add Woodland Green (AE990), Earth Brown (AE999), and finally Sand (AE977). I have used the same self made stencils out of poster board that I just hold up to the rifle or magazines (I have about 20 AR mags painted as well). The key I have found is to let the paint really dry, so for me it takes about a 4-8 days do a rifle after taping off the parts I want covered. Sometimes less if the sun is out and I can safely leave it out to cure faster. No special prep other than taping off with painters tape what I want covered - no degreasing or anything like that. For the optic covers, scope turrets, and WML heads I tape completely and then finish it with paint dabbed on a sponge to just break up the area. This was all trial and error on my sons airsoft rifles and then a MP-15/22. I thought hard about getting a professional job but when you add up shipping both ways and the work, that much coin can keep me in Aervoe for the next 30-50 years. Plus I figure if I ever ended up somewhere other than the south, I'd need a different scheme so why the foook not DITY. |

Is that some kind of way to use the mag release as a bolt hold open device? Who makes it? And how does it work? Edit to add. I think is see now. It’s not bolt hold open. It’s bolt release with the mag release |

Easily adjustable and comes that way out of the box. |
