Tan, olive, black, or camo guns - what do you prefer? (Poll added)

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tan, olive, black, or camo guns - what do you prefer? (Poll added)

Posted: 11/20/2003 11:57:12 AM EDT

Most of my guns are all black, except for one two-tone and some wood-stocked ones.

But that's getting kinda ho-hum for me. Just wondering what other colors are popular here. Feel free to post pics if you want. I never get tired of looking at gun porn.

I like olive drab. A nice neutral color that does not stand out too much.

Gold!.....I saw those Gold AK and I like it.

I like OD, especially on a Walther P99 Military. Looks good.

I like OD. As soon as the photo server starts working, I'll post some pics.

Gee....

I am personally torn between some, but the Milwaukee is my favorite. (followed by grassland followed by choco-chip..) I do single colors, too (OD, Tan, Pink, even black)

I have a couple of my ARs in Armalite green.

I also have a bunch of FALs and I was getting tired of all of them having black furniture.

I got OD from PENGUIN earlier in the year and I loved the new fresh look.

I got their new Coyote Brown and Desert Tan colors and I really like the Coyote Brown on the rifle.

The Desert Tan looks nice also, a little light for my taste. But it should make an excellant base color for camoflaging.

I got the stocks directly from Gerald @ www.penguinsaw.com

Either way, send your guns to him to get painted!

He does a great job, I've seen one of his completed camouflage jobs.

Black and only black.

Damn, forgot about the Ruger Gov. Target in polished S/S. Shyte, black for all but the Ruger Gov. Target.

True. And on white snow, a white AR15 would be the ticket. (Looks cool, too).

I like black, but second to that would be OD Green!

Black is the std, but I also have a Rem 870 Police with light gray parkerizing and wood stocks that I thinks looks cool.

I have a real thing for OD guns & gear. I can barely resist buying something if it's OD. I don't know why. I even plan to have my next vehicle be OD. I bought an SKS that is OD/parkerized, when I never wanted an SKS. I did a post a while back on OD weapons, just to drool over others, & get an idea of what I should buy in the future. I like the desert tan stuff, but not as much.

I feel the same way about desert tan/coyote brown. I do like OD too though, but not as much.

I looked up my old post on Search, but I don't know how to post a link to it. Help please. It's in the general area, I searched under the word Green. It's tittled "Black rifles are E-vile! the green ones however aren't. Show us your geeenies!"

Just something the uber-tactical will care more about than the fashion conscious:

Guess what color his gun is? Black is bad.

Check out this page from Military Moron.

I like the DSA paint jobs on their FALs. Currently I am boring as hell and all my guns are black, except for the stainless ones. If I was going to change anything up, I would go for OD. I think it is the way to go for solid colors besides black.

The DSA paintwerx are done by Lauer.

Right now most are black. But I really, really have this incredible urge to Urban Camo my FN SPR. [whisper] What's that gonna set me back Brasspile? Got a pic of an urban camo job? [/whisper] What? Did I say something? No dear, that wasn't me. [whisper]ok she's gone, well? [/whisper]

I like my guns "PARKERIZED" a dark grey or grey/black color. I also like dull blue as used on old Mausers & M44's.

Posted: 11/20/2003 3:19:03 PM EDT

Well, for AR's, I have;
1 Black
1 Grey (all Grey)
1 Tigerstripe camo
1 OD Green

You still need to add a poll, if it's ever working again.

Old Painless should put his AK, & his new .45 on here as well.

BTT!

K-Sports SKS? www.simonov.net/custompro.htm

OD green/gray parkerized is good, the two-tone OD/blued 1911A1 that somebody posted a pic of a while back was *very* nice! Generally I like dark gray rather than black as far as the metal goes, & black or olive for furniture, if plastic. Coyote Brown is starting to grow on me though. Tan is too close to 'blonde' hardwood, though a darker red/brown is ok, like Armalite offers.

That is the rifle I have! when I get a digital camera, I will send the guy some picture. I wonder if he would give me a good price for it? It has the mag, & is in about a 95% to 98% shape. Np visible marks, but it has been fired. Trigger pull is awfull on it.

Coyote is pretty cool. It's better contrasted against black.

Urban camo is my favorite camo (up there with desert camo) because I live in a city. But I like the color too.
