This is one of the ugly ducklings in our family; excluding optics, mounts, light setups & bipod there was only approx. $250 in the rifle after all the buying/selling/trading. The camo'd barrel assy. (Colt 1x7), h.guards & stock were purchased insanely cheap back during the ban because the gentleman was only after the pre-ban lower but he also kept the upper receiver -

Hawkeye,
The top AR, what colors did you use? More specificaly, how did you do it. That is exactly the type of cammo job I want to do with my AR.

Here is the only one I have done right now, and my first attempt at Kryloning a firearm:
This one is going to be done very soon, EOTech and everything. It won't be done in the same pattern.
Pulling fireguard with the soon to be painted M4gery.

Wes1:
What are you using to apply the finish, airbrush? And what finish are you using. I love the pattern, and would love to try and duplicate something similar to that on some of my hunting/shooting tools.
Originally I was going to highlight the Alumahyde with tan and black Alumahyde but thought I'd try some other paint first. I've since added a richer green a lighter tan and richer brown Testors because the tones of the Alumahyde were so similar and the Alumahyde has a satin finish whereas the Testors is flat. Here are the best(read lousy) pics I have of the new paint job. Generation 3
The mag and buttpad are not usually on the rifle and were for contrast only. The stock has got to go.
I've found it dificult to evaluate the camoflage effectiveness on my own because I knew where the items I placed were. I took this picture with the focus on the organic foreground to see how readily my eye was drawn to the foreign objects.hinking.gif
I'm not thrilled with this camo either and may strip it and start over. The stock is definitely geting pulled b/c I primed it first and the paint easily strips down to the white primer with light to medium use.
