shibiwan Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Got bored over Xmas break and gave the beater a makeover with the Bushnell 1-4 FFP scope and a more desert friendly color. Before: After: Edited January 30, 2014 by shibiwan
shibiwan Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Posted January 9, 2014 YES!!! KRYLON KHAKI!!! Yup! Tried Rustoleum Cinnamon but that turned out too reddish.
98Z5V Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 I've got a damn sweet Krylon Khaki carbine. It's pretty unique, with what it's made of. I recognized that color right away. <thumbsup>
Dane Armory Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 How did you prep the barrel or did you ? Turned out great !
blue109 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Will that krylon be ok on the barrel and gas block? Looks sweet for sure.
shibiwan Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Posted January 11, 2014 How did you prep the barrel or did you ? Turned out great ! No real prep on the barrel - some steel wool then cleaned off with acetone before spraying. Gas block is a cheapie aluminum gas block that came with the beater so the paint stuck on OK. I got a lo-pro gas block in my parts bin but was too lazy to put it on. It's the beater anyhow, I expect to get it chipped up etc, maybe later repaint with more Krylon and try to do a desert MARPAT camo on it.
98Z5V Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Saw this rifle today - awesome stick, Shibi!!! <thumbsup>
shibiwan Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks! It still shot decent even with a basic boresight job and no real zeroing. I was expecting it to be all over the place.
shibiwan Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) BTW - surprise surprise - the krylon seems to stick on the bare metal SS barrel a a lot better than the anodized receiver. Edited January 30, 2014 by shibiwan
