Ok doods,

I like having one all black rifle, but as far as a second rifle, fde would be nice, that's what my next rifle will be.

I go for practicality.  My weapons are tools for various tasks such as hunting, competition, personal protection, etc.  Thus, I am a fan of Krylon on some of my weapons.  Putting a lighter finish on the weapons keep them from getting too hot in the sun, it helps break up the pattern on my hunting weapons, keeps down mirage, etc.  

I see a practical use for the tan furniture.  It accomplishes some of my goals without having to paint the weapon.

I also like the looks of the tan.

I've been told OD green sells best, followed by all black, followed by brown.

I suppose it depends where you are at. I like all black, FDE has never really appealed to me.

You also need a FDE bolt carrier. (does exist)

Aimpoint with the FDE cover.... (does exist)

Oh yeah...and some FDE contacts. (Might exist)

BURN!

I dont think hes old enough to purchase a glock bomb from an FFL

I personally dont understand painting guns....rattle can, krylon- all that....wont it wipe right off when you spray the weapon down with CLP powder blast?




or am i the only one that completely 100% sprays down and cleans everything?

I had a springfield XD that i painted the engravings with special enamel model paint, and when i sprayed the slide down with CLP powder blast...there went the color.

I painted my walther P22 frame desert tan cammo with ratlle can paint (sweet camo job):



i couldnt stand it, because whenever i would grip the weapon, it would always feel tacky in my hand, especially outdoors in the sunlight. so i promptly sold it for a nice "sweet camo paint job" profit.

I have decided my next rifle is going to get a duracoat paintjob, my girlfriend want's her rifle to have the lady amstripe paintjob from duracoat, so seeing they say that the peel and spray sticker templates can be re-used up to six times i figure i might as well go ahead and order them and get me the colors that i want and do mine in a amstripe pattern. First i gotta get another rifle to paint, prolly an ak.

I've had difficulty finding good camo paints at HD. Honestly Wal-Mart [which I FUCKING hate going to by the way] usually has a special run of Camo Krylon in OD/TAN/BLK/BRN. I've never found it anywhe re else. Either that or Brownells Alumahyde.

Some Ace Hardwares carry the camo stuff. That is all dependant on the Ace though.
