I picked a couple of S&W lowers last year. They have sat in my shop for a good while with me trying to decide what to do with them. Well I decided to build them into a couple of simple carbines. I have picked parts for them as I have found them and if DD would hurry up with some barrels I could finish them. In wanting to do something different(plus Im not a fan of the grey M&P that was on the lowers) I decided to give Cerakote a try with help from one of my friends.
The specs on the rifles are as follows- S&W lowers Palmetto uppers DD LPK DD BCG RRA NM triggers YHM rails Magpul Moe stocks DD 1/7 16" barrels(when they show up) FSB's- customized by me I Cerakoted them in Sniper Grey- this is my 1st two-tone AR, I like the look. Heres a few pictures of them- 
I removed the bayonet lugs and sling attachments on the FSB's. I then used a oscillating belt sander to remove the ridges from them and lastly drilled/tapped them for allen screws.

I spent the afternoon finishing up both the carbines.
Heres a few pictures I took while finishing it up- Installing the gas pin/tube in FSB 
Installing the barrel in the upper receiver 
Installing the barrel nut 
Torqued to specs 
Making sure the quadrail and upper receiver are straight 
Gas tube/FSB going on 
Flash hider installed 
All finished 
The reason I have built 2 identical rifles is everytime my wife and I go shoot she claims my rifle is better than hers. So I built these two so she and I can finally end the debate. |
| Nice choice of color! I have some sniper grey also and have done a slide in that color. I have one upper that's cerakoted and it's the smoothest running of all the uppers. You can really tell the self-lubricating properties of cerakote. It starts to run smoother with each cycle. Good looking builds you have there. |

Thanks for all of the kind words. I have been working on a new predator rifle. As soon as the Centurion quadrail arrives from Rainier amd the scope shows up , all of the parts will be Cerakoted in FDE.Ill post a new thread when it starts going together.
