survivalshop Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Well I ordered & got these sand colored LR PMags & they might be OK in that white colored play sand , but I didn't expect them to be white , I could stand them & had to paint them with some camo paint I had . Much better , wish I had some FDE paint , but these will do .
jtallen83 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 That is what I realized after buying one. I was told they make them so light so people can easily dye them. Next time I have something cerakoted I will have it done.
EngrBob Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 Brownells makes a paint called Alumahyde II in FDE that seems to work pretty well. The receivers in my 6.5 Creedmore build were raw and painted with the Alumahyde II. About $11 or $12 a can.
survivalshop Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Posted July 19, 2016 I had a choice of the Tan I used or OD Green or Foliage green , I didn't want to wait for an order , I couldn't stand the white , the Tan isn't bad . Black from now on . Dye them , not sure the Thermal plastic will take a dye , someone else try , I'm happy with my tan ones now . I have a 20 & a 10 rounder , now
MikedaddyH Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 You could paint a rifle that color then go shooting on the beach and just disappear.

So he cut up a LR PMag to do samples , WTF , I think I would have used the dust cover & the base for the testing , but hay, its his $ & he said he didn't have a 308AR , his loss.
