Decided to paint black rifle
- Thread starter Savage7mmMag
- Start date
So here is my rifle like I run it in the woods as it is my primary pig hunting gun: I'm running a Vortex 4-16x44 HS scope on a Burris P.E.P.R. mount, (Made the mistake of not ordering the qd mount) I have a Streamlight long gun hs light, (bright as the sun at 800 lumens) just a Caldwell bipod, (I plan on upgrading) and a Vickers two point sling. All around a PSA AR-10

I don't why everybody is hung up on black. I built an 1,800 dollar burnt bronze AR10. I chose the chassis color when I ordered it. I like a little color on a gun. I mean AR's will never look like a traditional high gloss monte carlo stock bolt gun with a blued barrel but they can definitely be something besides black. I bet all these newbe gun guys open up their gun safes and it's full of all black rifles. Now I have my fair share of black guns but I do branch out and add a little color now and then. When it's done properly they look great with a splash of color.
I also have my fair share of old traditional guns as well. A couple of Remy's, a Marlin and a couple of shotguns. I love my high gloss stocks and blued steel. Can't be beat.

I was just too scared to add any color until I realized how simple it will. Maybe everyone is stuck on black because of the media? Haha
For me even a little color fill on some of the logo's and safty impressions is nice change. Now I don't have balls to take a rattle can to my guns but if you can then go for it. It looks nice. It's going to look even better when you add the contrast with the netting and another color. I have been wanting to get one of my all black guns done in that battle worn finish. I just have to work up the gumption to get it done. I tend to go over board on the budget on all my builds so flat out spray canning one scares me to death. I would be to freaking nervous to even start.
I dig it but I'm partial to FDE.
It was SUPPOSED to have more, but the string I used for the tiger stripes didn't have enough od to leave any. So that was one of the many lessons I learned.
I never have a budget, so rattle can was the option I was left with hahaha
As we use to say when racing back in high school. You rung what ya brung.
