At least it's not Barney purple. I had a frightening image in my head until Isaw the pic.

Ha !
It doesn't look bad untill I put a different (black) upper on it. Then it becomes real noticeable. |

If you have been shooting it, I wouldn't worry about the investment value. Make it look the way that YOU want it to, and shoot the hell out of it.

Methinks www.bushmaster.com or www.dpmsinc.com offers a refinishing service for uppers, lowers, etc. I can't remember which one, but you can check it out. IIRC, it was pretty reasonable, like $30 for a lower or something like that.HTH

What IS the deal with the purple bushmasters? Was it a mistake? They must have known they were selling purple rifles? WTF?

The purple looks better than the yellow.
I would just keep it the way it is. Look at all the new tactical pistols, Two-tone is all the rage now. |

I believe that purple finish may be a cancer causing agent. You should give the rifle to me so that I can put it in a safe place.

Yep,that's a dangerous finish on that rifle.
Plese put on some thick gloves. Gently package the offending rifle in a safe container. E-mail me for my address so that I can safely dispose of it. It's for the good of you and the children. |

I would recommend sending it to rma to have bear coat put on it...it will match all the new black and is a great finish.
www.bearcoat.com for info or request a catalog. I usually get lowers back in about a week for $ 75 including return shipping. Old Gunny |

Purple is one of those dope smokin, tree huggin, liberal, sissy colors. Don't care what you do just make sure it's MANLY.[;D]

Derek, don't do a darn thing to that rifle. There's nothing "wrong" with a purple tint, mechanically or aesthetically.
A refinish will lower the value of the preban status a bit. Shoot it and enjoy the heck out of it. However, I would like to offer to trade you one of my jet-black postban lowers for your purple lower... CMOS |

Quoted: ,,, Two-tone is all the rage now. LOL! OK - don't laugh, but I've really done that. I've got several "Barney rifles," & wanted to try something different than Gun-coat for a change. A friend of mine who works for Schwinn offered to powder coat two of mine last month. I told him "flat black - the flatter the better," & he said they've got a new color that should be perfect (called "Stealth Black"). He dropped them off last week, & they were both candy apple red - they look like red chrome! To make a long story short - he just plain forgot (He's the one who did the red anodized Sanchez mags that I was selling here last year, & he DID remember that). He offered to redo them, but the old color would have to be chemically removed, I don't want the aluminum etched any more, & the price was right (Free), so WTH - I just put 'em back together use them the way they are (So much for stealth). One really weird part - yesterday EVERY shooter at the Winnipeg rifle range asked who's making them, & where to get them!?! |

You should shoot some people with it and then it will be red. And to conceal the evidence give it to me.[kill]
