AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[mettle]

Yup. Took long enough . Any luck with your 556 can?

It is waiting on me, waiting on the paperwork, waiting on 'pending' to actually mean something. lol

Your paint job is BA! Colors? Process? I haven't seen one that looks quite like that before!

Looks like a Nightforce 1-4x24 to me...Nice scope

Thanks, it's my homegrown verison of A-TACS. It's two colors, (rustoleum camo rattle can) Flat Brown and Flat Tan. Started with a complete base coat of brown, layered tan and brown on top of that using the edges of leaves as 'stencils' to break up the colors. I just kept layering the tan and the brown until I achieved the look I was going for. I painted all the parts seperate, then assembled the rifle, and then finally added a couple more layers of tan and brown on top of that.

New paint looks great

Thanks Mike!

You are correct, it's a NF 1-4x24. I love it. I still want to change out the rings for a LaRue SPR or a Burris P.E.P.R mount.

That optic is close to what many spend on their rifle altogether!
very nice optic though.

I had a Burris PEPR on a 1-4 scope a while back. Not a bad mount, but the mounting didn't seem as good as I expected. Seems like for a nice NF, a LaRue mount would be in order, and the QD's make it that much more attractive.

I keep leaning toward the LaRue SPR mount. I have read good stuff about the P.E.P.R. mount, but I keep going back to the LaRue. I really need more height on my glass, want QD capability, and the added height will allow for remounting of my rear BUIS.

There are several threads, websites, and youtube videos on how to build an AR, and what you need.

Black Gun

Man I want one of these"Black Guns" in a horrible way! Or better yet a black gun in camo. Remington R15, they seem to be pricey, is that factory camo job really worth $3-400?

Most of that price is the name, not the paint job.

IMO, no. I'd also look at something else other than Cerebus owned company rifles.

Keep an eye out for special pricing on some blems then have it hydro dipped in a camo pattern. I've shot a customized Remington like you mentioned and while it functioned just fine, a custom dipped gun with a unique look would be teets!

Bushmaster 24" Varminter. Added a Leupold Mark AR mounted in a Larue SPR mount w/ Butler Creek caps. Also added a Timney 3# trigger, Tubb grip, Harris Bipod and 20 round PMAG. Hopefully this puppy is accurate.
