I decided to start my first AR build!!
I am planning a Zombie Destroyer in .50 Beowulf. I have had the Spikes Tactical stripped lower with the Punisher logo for a whole. I also ordered the Spikes Enhanced Lower Kit and are awaiting the arrival of that. The gun is going to be all black with dark earth accents. Today I started by painting the graphics on the lower http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/s9601694/3900A91F-C124-4031-B850-D12D5400A077-3916-000004326A4C21C3.jpg I am using Testors paint and am not careful with staying in the lines. I plan on wiping the excess away with thinner. This is going to be a loooong process because I plan on using only top of the line (Made in America) stuff and it's going to be expensive!! I'm excited! |

Careful there....I did that....$2100 and change later I almost have a complete rifle!   
I'm excited! That paint job looks AWESOME....good work

Looks good
May I ask why Beowulf? As opposed to .458 SOCOM, or any of the other big bores? I am assuming that you researched the options before dropping that much$$$$. There are several threads that discuss the merits of each but most of the replys are "my chambering is best, because that is what I have." Type answers |

OK finally found the time to put my Palmetto State Armory lower kit together last saturday! (while the brisket was smoking on the BGE!!)
