Those were my wife’s idea. I thought they worked out well too.I like the grey tones you used.

The steps...
Don't be hatin' on the P.P.If only the Krylon would put the Poverty Pony’s dimensions back into spec...
I'm going to let it sit for a week or two to make sure it cures then I'm gonna do 5-6 mag dumps and let it burnI like the tiger stripe looking camo. Looks good. Ought to smell good burning off the tube as well.
I just love the smell of Krylon burning in the morning....
They should. What if you're deep deep deep in the field waiting to ambush the Ho Chi Minh Trail but really really really want to smoke a boston butt?I wonder if they make grill paint in o.d. ?
It'll be interesting to see for sure. If and when it does cook off, I'll probably strip the barrel and use OD high temp paint.Please let us know about what round count the Krylon cooks off at. I would like to do my ar-10. Grill paint for the barrel, and maybe rattlecan for the rest.

It was pretty humid this weekend. I'm going to let it sit in the safe and cure for a week or so before I do anything with it. After that, I'm not even going to try to be gentle or careful with it. I've got 10 30rd mags loaded and ready to play with. I need to sight in the BSO-1 then cook off a few hundred rounds from 25-100 yards (that's the extent of my backyard range at the moment). After that, this FrankenBuild will be my go-to, go everywhere sidekick. All scratches, dings, scrapes and wear will be well earned and worn like a badge of honor.I used to krylon my ARs. The paint scratches off long before it cooks off. Actually the barrel is about the only part you CAN’T get the paint off without bead blasting. It more or less cooks on.

Exactly what I did. Laundry bags are like $1 at Wal Mart, so nobody cried over it.Looks good. Did you use a laundry bag for the "scales"? That's how my buddy said they did theirs in Afghanistan.
Thanks! I think the essence of a rattle can camo job is in the imperfections. If we want perfect, we have @FatAlbert do it.Is that safety lever supposed to be like that? Looks odd...
Nice paint job, BTW!
Interesting, I would have never thought to do that. I tried exactly one ambi safety because I didn't like my knuckle interfering with it going into Fire but I never thought to flip it like that.Thanks!

I hate that most ambi safeties always ride on the knuckle of my finger, so whenever possible, I flip them around the other way on the right side.
Or I file the fucker down until it doesn't bother me anymore. Had to do that on a 1911 I bought a while back.
Just one of my little quirks. I can still operate the safety left-handed if needed.
