Same barrel, cheap Chinese free float handguard, some sort of spraypaint scheme.Well at least you're learning some stuff right?
What's the plan now? Cheap new barrel back in the same config or something totally different?
I've got several patterns of camo hydrodip film in my eBay cart for a rattle can painted rifle I'm slowly building.Same barrel, cheap Chinese free float handguard, some sort of spraypaint scheme.
Check out Acme Machine. They have surprisingly nice handguards for around $30. I've got a couple, and like them.Same barrel, cheap Chinese free float handguard, some sort of spraypaint scheme.
Quick and nasty color test on the broken upper to make sure I have the right paint.
I do.
Ended up snagging one on Ebay for $30 and change, but bookmarked for future use.Check out Acme Machine. They have surprisingly nice handguards for around $30. I've got a couple, and like them.
Well, I'm going for a certain aesthetic.I don’t know if “right” is the adjective I’d use!
The Blood Dragon has returned!
Needs more neon.
No ragerts.
Lisa Frank would be proud.
Soak that nasty bish in mineral spirits.That's right up my alley-I like my parts like I likes my coffee; cheap and black.
Just kidding, I don't like coffee.
I've got a barrel wrench coming- I'm going to put the cheapest Chinese free float handguard on it I can find and then rattle can the whole thing. May change the stock, but I'm not sure yet. I oiled it so I'm not sure how easily I can prep it for paint.
If it's that canted, it'll erode the hell out of the barrel... put a new gas block in it! Unless you're keyholing, in which case, f it all.If I were making a beater project gun, I wouldn’t even change to a low pro gas block. I’d put that FSB on the bench grinder and take it to it.
5 sets of e-mails back and forth now and I'm still waiting on a sticker to ship this thing back.
In the meantime I went ahead and bought a 20 inch Windham "Gov't" rifle. I think I'm done with PSA.
Yeah, count me out on thier AK's too.
Can I be sure that the barrel nut will pass over the gas block when I go to install it?
