Guest LLArms Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Another one of my LR-308s. Very much normal in comparison to our pet project, but a smooth operator none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LLArms Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 So I had a fresh batch of Duracoat on order and was bored and could not wait to refinish the free float tube after drilling the holes and sanding down some rough spots.I drained some Krylon High Temp (Matte Black) into an HVLP cup and sprayed that and then follows up (same method) with some Krylon Clear. Too much gloss, a light rubbing with a scotch bright pad and it kept the same protective layer but cut out the sheen about 50% so it has the semi-gloss black color of factory AR parts.This method has me considering using it more often on non-high traffic components and it will help me conserve more expensive painting supplies.I was very surprised at how smooth it came out. I banged the free float on my desk a bit to see how the clear would stand up and the worst I could produce was a light scuff, which I could rub out with my finger.Color me impressed for sub $8.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LLArms Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 They are some Magpul 11 Slot rails I've had sitting around. You can get them just about anywhere really - I do most of my shopping on Midway USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I used the press to get the holes in straight - then a regular cordless drill to widen it with a larger bit.Bigger bits for the press are on the "to get" list now. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Manufacture , brand name. They are different ,Good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LLArms Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Manufacture , brand name. They are different ,Good thing.Ah sorry.They are a clone of the Command Arms bipod legs. Picked them up on Amazon for $66.00 (CA's version is $125). After a bit of tooling I got them up to my standards because all the cloned stuff is sub-par build quality.One of the benefits of being a handy man I suppose. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 That would go good with the CA pistol grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LLArms Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 If you look closely it does have a CA pistol grip with the optional palm rest.I have a JP Enterprise Recoil Eliminator on order for the barrel. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
