Keep it, shoot it, love it. It is yours. The different colors will always remind you that YOU built the rifle.
OR, just send it to Chameleon Weaponry for a DuraCoat job. |

crayon won't stick and I hate pink
i don't want to ship the gun anywhere cause I don't want it to be nonfunctional or inaccessible any more than it has and besides, after the build, i can't afford to have it refinished by a pro i can't park it without disassembly, right? I just got it together, no more disassembly please!! I can email a pic if someone'll host n post it eta: don't know if I pic would really show the color differential as much as it shows "in the flesh" edited again to add: oh yeah, I forgot about the OD stock

Call me a traditionalist....paint the whole damn thing flat black.
Nice AR..its actually fine the way it is...but all black would pretty much rule. |

Send it to Wilson Combat for an Armor Tuff coating. They do black, green or grey.
Or send it to me for proper disposal.

forget refinishing... get rid of that fucking USA brand mag!
 it's all new prts... no refinishing needed... just get a grip and some rail covers to match your stock and spend the rest on mags, ammo and training! |

Hell, ... I think it's beautiful. Plus you had the "nards" to build it yourself. Leave it the way it is, it will always be original that way. Zen "This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine" |

hmmm that's what I was getting at really... the camo kit is a temp paint that you can take off if you want... probably the most practical suggestion is to get some magpul panels should I go green to match the stock or black? I'd prefer all black but with the OD stock it's a little late for that. I wondered how long until someone noticed that crappy USA mag.... I have two if those crappy things and I paid WAY too much for em since it was before I discovered arfcom...waiting to find a good deal on some Labelle's p.s. thanks for all the compliments guys, I feel like part of the family!!
