JP Rifle Bennie Cooley tactical large profile .850 od http://jprifles.com/1.4.3_tre.php AL

Thank you for all the compliments For the most part I kept it assembled to make sure the pattern flowed throughout the rifle. The scope/rings were removed but I kept the scope in the rings/level Also kept the UBR closed I did open it and spray it only after the rest of the rifle was complete/dry I did wrap the barrel/brake in wax paper and put the FFtube back on. Before I started I already made the decision that the barrel/brake/bipod were going to be some shade or shades of green so I did those last After everytime I sprayed it I would hit it with a heat gun set on its high setting being carefull not to keep it to close but I would make sure it got damn hot Then I would let it dry for at least 5 days and in that time I could lay out the next design in my head.......That was all that was on my mind for a month or so...A little distracting but fun as hell to do. I used MinWax Fastdrying Polyurethane (black and gold aresol can) for the final finish I used a whole can just on the FFT and a whole can on the rifle almost a hole can on the scope and rings and I used alot on the mags as well. I let all that dry for another 5 days then I assembled it. I stuffed alot of toilet paper inside to protect the barrel and upper and mag well. Whatever overspray I got in the magwell was easily removed with Acetone. The only problem was with the mag release on the left side It would catch just a bit from the buildup of the polyurethane but that was an easy fix. A couple light passes with some 200grit and it functions flawlessly. Anymore questions just ask. I learned alot from this project I have 2 more projects I plan on doing and they should look even better. AL

I posted this on SH figured it would be appropriate to post it here as well. My first attempt @ DIY camo I traced all the patterns from one section of my Tab Gear shooters mat and tried to lay out the patterns the exact same way on the rifle. I used 12 colors to try and get it right and lots of polyurethane to finish it off. Did my own design on the brake,barrel,bipod & bikini covers. Hunter Green Italian Olive Hosta Leaf Avocado Almond Khaki Sand Brown Espresso Brown Boots Ballet Slipper Pink Dark Taupe

I got a chance to really test the brake and I cant tell the difference between the two. I do like the cooley brake better because of the looks. The tank brake just seemed to get uglier and uglier everyday. The cooley brake is actually heavier and larger though. AL

"Sweet"... <thumbsup>

Looks Awesome I like it AL

Sounds like a good time. Very Cool AL

Thanks for clearing that up Looks like I have a 18.5" NM Med Douglas then...cool with me cause it shoots lights out. AL

I like it looks good. A Douglas barrel matched to the BCG? Did you send your barrel to Fulton or did you send your bolt to Douglas? AL

Thanks for the compliments Havent had a chance to try the new brake. I have to wait till next weekend,waiting on ammo. I will report back on the difference if any. JP says that there is very little difference between the two. AL
