My ar's evolution

[lukeyn]

Well wanting everyones thoughts on the final build.

It started out as a panther bull 20

Then I got a wild hair and wanted to paint it camo, so I used krylon. Huge mistake, never again.

After a week of stripping and disassembly, I duracoated everything magpul fde. Put everything back together tonight.

I will use this for coyote hunting and wanted somethign more durable than krylon.

Re: My ar's evolution

Why didn't you do a good job and coat the entire rifle?

Now you have a solid mud clay colored rifle with 4-5 inches of bright polished stainless steel on the end which completely negates the whole idea of camo.

WOW, thats a lot of FDE. To me it's to much FDE. Maybe put some black or another color in it to brake it up.

But hey, let's face it, paint doesn't make it shoot better, so just get out there and sling lead down range.

I think it looks good.If you drop and eagle stock pack on it and scope it will not have the "over paint" look. Nice job

Re: My ar's evolution

now that you have it like that, you can krylon what you wish and clean it off. that FDE is solvent resistant? otherwise it looks nice like that

Re: My ar's evolution

I think it looks great, I'm thinking of having my upper and lower duracoated as well. Nice looking stick!

How do you like the K grip in an accuracy minded application?

Re: My ar's evolution

I really like that look on an AR. Well done!

 

[lukeyn]

Re: My ar's evolution

the k-grip is pretty vertical, but I do alot of shooting while I am sitting using an extended bipod.

I was thinking about painting the barrel, but I actually thought it would be too much FDE. I have some black duracoat, but it is the tactical flat black, which to me is tooo flat.

Re: My ar's evolution

Should I paint the barrel magpul fde, tactical fde, black, or o.d.

Black.

Re: My ar's evolution

I like it, and I don't typically like FDE guns. I would just have the barrel sand blasted to dull the shine.

Gun looks much better in FDE than in the krylon. Congrats.

I like it, but then again, I'm biased:

Re: My ar's evolution

Very nice, How do you like the handguard INOGAME? Is that a YHM Smooth rail?


Test firing tomorrow.

She's an MK12 Mod 0 clone. Not exact, but real close.

Awesome firearm.

Re: My ar's evolution

A little update.

This is at 100yards. Took one shot, adjusted scope and fired off three more. I'm using a 4x12x40 Vortex Diamondback, and Fiocchi 50grain vmax ammo. According to my ballistics calculator, with zeroing in at 210, I should be able to hit a 3inch target out to 275yards, perfect for coyote hunting in this area.

Nice Rifle and Nice Shooting!

Re: My ar's evolution

Also I got rid of the MOE-K grip and went back to the standard style. It was just too thin for my liking.
