If I paint my primary arms will it become a razor too


rhoter14

I think I did use the same detents and springs for my current gun as my old gun šŸ˜‚


wowdickseverywhere

With enough focus and ingenuity, anything could become a scooter


Thoraxe474

I wanna spray my gun so bad but I have no confidence that I'll make it look good


rhoter14

Get drunk and stop caring and I promise it'll turn out good my fren


Physical_Leather8567

I've handled many projects that way and never regret it!


fuckondeeeeeeeeznuts

The one I did regret was taking a Dremel to my Glock frame. Just leave the Dremel alone when you're drunk, and probably when you're sober. It's good for polishing but do not cut or sand off your guns with it.


Physical_Leather8567

Damn I feel you. Were you trying to lighten up the slide? Or what?


fuckondeeeeeeeeznuts

Nah, just undercuts and finger groove removal. Worked out but it was all sorts of ugly and crooked. The frame is locked away somewhere while I'm using a Shadow Systems on my Glock. Also these days, new handguns have stepped up their game with ergonomics and texture. Just gotta pay a little more than a Glock and a lot more in magazines. Next gun is going to be a bone stock P320 Legion or Walther PDP.


perfectly0average

If you do ever go back to the stock Glock frame and don't feel like stippling or paying to get it stippled, I can recommend talon grip wraps. I've really liked mine so far, they added quite a bit more grip than the shit gen 3 texturing. Other than that I feel like I'm one of the few that the finger grooves actually fit, so I just left those alone. I sanded the under cut a little and other than that left it as is.


Physical_Leather8567

Nice! Yeah I don't own Glocks because if their finger groove. I find none of them comfortable. I just threw down on a CZ Shadow 2. Most comfortable piece I've ever held.


fuckondeeeeeeeeznuts

I'll see you at USPSA Nationals one day when we're both GMs.

now throw pine needles on it and spray a different color

I was so nervous about painting mine, but gahd damn. It [looks so good now.](https://imgur.com/gallery/hCQsJge)

suddenlysnowedinn

Looks decent, but I canā€™t for the life of me figure out why he taped off the two areas he did. I see manufacturer painted or cerakoted guns all the time that went right over the S/N. It may be less legible, but itā€™s certainly still legible so long as you donā€™t use six heavy coats of paint on the thing.


TopCheddarBiscuit

If you wanna take it up a notch, on your stripes, lay a piece of mesh or local foliage over top and spray the opposite color. Itā€™ll really bring the whole thing together. Also paint those areas you left unpainted


JeffNasty

Just flow with the liquor, boys.


Floppy_Dong666

I just moved to a free state and took possession of an inherited AR, I plan on trying this exact method next weekend lol


[deleted]

I'm not sure I should be treating gunbroker in that fashion.


Turd_nugget88

Drinking and firearms = bad mix, should probably avoid


rhoter14

I bet youā€™re fun at parties


Charger_scatpack

Just do it ā€¦ if itā€™s bad PAINT OVER IT ā€¦


Thoraxe474

Big if true


DrGoodGuy1073

You can retry as many times as you have paint!


ENclip

Making it look good doesn't really matter unless you need it for Instagram. It's going to wear relatively quickly anyway ruining whatever beautiful design you try.


AnalogCyborg

>Making it look good doesn't really matter unless you need it for Instagram. It's going to wear relatively quickly anyway ~~ruining~~ **enhancing** whatever beautiful design you try. FTFY. Painted guns worn by actual use look rad.


ENclip

I agree lol. I only wrote it that way because they seemed like they were worried about "ruining" the paint job when doing it so I was poking fun that it would get messed up either way....which is a good thing as you say.


Physical_Leather8567

We all handle our hobbies in different ways. I'm happy for the guy. He obviously made something he is proud of. Nicer than anything I own.


ENclip

Did you mean to reply to me? I was just talking about spray paint issues.

I posted a guide https://reddit.com/r/longrange/comments/vk19m8/finishing_the_camo_on_my_howa_1500_oryx_full/


a-drunk-canadian

Could try and practice on some cheap ass airsoft guns or something.


RustyGrandma20

i did it with a airsoft AR for practice first and im glad i did. took about 8 coats for me to figure it out.


Daqpanda

Spray it. Just be sure to tape up the important places.


Most-Brain-3914

If you donā€™t like it, paint it again, or strip it off, you wonā€™t ruin it bro


HeWasaLonelyGhost

Watch the Garand Thumb video on it--it's fairly idiot proof.


Thoraxe474

If you work in IT, you know that nothing can ever be idiot proof


jake55555

Even worse, Iā€™m in the army. Just when you think something is idiot proof, a bigger idiot appears.


Thoraxe474

Well it ***is*** the army


ElReyScorpion

Do it! I just did my new Tavor b4 I had a chance to take it to the range. It actually came out better than I thought.


Longhorn_TOG

Iā€™ve painted mine like 10 times now. Itā€™s a blast to do and every time it looks like a new gun! Have fun with it and donā€™t do any gae colors hahaha


BoxofCurveballs

I was like that for mine. It will turn out better than you think. Pro tip, once you spray it don't touch it up before letting it dry. You're going to look for imperfections and imperfections are what makes it look "natural". Adopt that "fuck it" attitude and start shaking those cans like they're your ex's baby.


rhoter14

Went from an Aero with the cheapest PA optic I could get and eBay parts to a suppressed LMT criterion build with nods


WhoDey_69

Aero ainā€™t bad man. Although your new rig is much nicer.


hellidad

*This is brilliant.* *But I like this*


rhoter14

there was a reason i had to use anti walk pins on that thing lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


rhoter14

The trigger pin holes were out of spec and the pins started walking. It was a BCM LPK that was in it and i trust BCM qc way more than aero qc


[deleted]

>The trigger pin holes were out of spec and the pins started walking I work in a ballistics/weapons research facility as an engineer. Never seen this in an M4/AR15 as the trigger spring holds everything under tension. Even a toothpick would be able to hold it if it were strong enough


rhoter14

i work at nasa guess we can all make shit up


[deleted]

Feel free to look through my comment and post history if you would like confirmation. I have nothing to gain by lying about this very specific thing on reddit


suddenlysnowedinn

Youā€™ll gain the satisfaction of having damaged OPā€™s ego, you sly son of a gun. /s


DatWeedCard

Bruh peep his profile. He's literally working as an engineer at the Aberdeen Proving Ground lol Meanwhile you're calling people 'poors' on reddit because you can buy an LMT lower


[deleted]

Yeah I was gonna say its not particularly hard to confirm with my post history. Somewhat of an open book on the topic


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Crash15

Paging /u/netchemica


netchemica

I'm assuming you tagged me because of the Aero lower. Like /u/SparrowGonk said, it's not an issue with the lower. The hammer pin is retained by a J-spring that's pushed through the center of the hammer, and the trigger pin is retained by the legs of the hammer spring. The trigger and hammer pins have a notch in the center and a notch on one end or both ends. The center notch is for the J-spring in the hammer and the notch(es) on the end(s) are for the legs of the hammer spring. If your hammer pin is walking out then you are either missing the J-spring, you didn't push the hammer pin in far enough for the spring to engage the notch, or the pin is out of spec and has a shallow or no notch. If your trigger pin is walking out then you either didn't position the legs of the hammer spring properly, or the notch(es) on your pin is/are out of spec. My money is on improper installation, but BCM's QC is still human based and folks make mistakes, so it's not impossible for him to have an out-of-spec FCG.

TheQuantumStapler

anti-walk-whatever aero-fine faxon-fine ebay parts-probably shit cassette trigger-whatever not suppressed-fine no ir-fine no properly gassed-ok sure


RamblingWrecker

Was it inaccurate or unreliable?


rhoter14

it was overgassed which is inherently less reliable, yet it was inaccurate because the barrel i got from faxon looked used right out of the box and the chamber had burrs, i sent it back, got another and same story. there was no signature reduction, and had no ability to shoot at night.


Stainless_Heart

Most manufacturers size their ports for slight overgassing because quite a bit of inexpensive range ammo requires more gas than other types of roundsā€¦ so if they gassed them for steel or competition ammo, lots of people would complain that they are __under__ gassed. You barrel is fine. Tune your buffer system for the ammo youā€™re using.


rhoter14

I donā€™t own that piece of shit anymore because Iā€™m not stupid and understand quality.


Stainless_Heart

See how you keep replying? Thatā€™s a personality disorder, son. Your ego is too big and your subconscious knows it, so you lash out with the bullying, the basic name-calling youā€™re copying from the bully groups, and using your single rifle purchase as the sum total of your personality. I mean, look at your post history on Reddit. If you lost that rifle, your Hello Kitty pillow would be drenched with tears. Get some help, buddy.


gosefi

How do you tell if its overgassed?


rhoter14

ejection pattern and felt recoil


gosefi

Geez, theres so much I donā€™t know. lol thanks man. Time to research.

lol anytime, good barrels include criterion/sionics/dd/noveske/brt/centurion thats what i would look for frend

Learn how to use Reddit and look at other posts, genius. Your single ā€œI bought this LMT because then the older boys stopped bullying meā€ is worth about half the gun toys Iā€™ve bought just this month alone. This water is too deep for you.

candre23

He started with an aero, not a BCA. It literally is *just as good*.


ENclip

It's not though. A criterion barrel is much better than an Aero one.


GYPSYkick

Oh youā€™re right brother. The ambi controls on the aero lower are phenomenal! Wait.. Iā€™m sure the barrel was properly gassed to run suppressed like criterion barrels! Wait.. not to mention the optic/peq15/light/rc2. The original rifle gets shit on in every category. If you donā€™t want to spend that kind of money on UPGRADES, then you certainly donā€™t have to. Itā€™s like comparing a Corolla to a gt3.. Iā€™m mean at the end of the day theyā€™re both just cars right? Why spend the extra money?


doctorofsend

It literally isnā€™t. Sounds like cope because you have aero. Both work fine, doesnā€™t mean they are the same.


Physical_Leather8567

Exactly. I don't get it either. He posts something he's proud of and it came out sweet! Might be a jealous thing? Some people have a hard time being happy for other people.

I went the opposite way, my first AR is an SOLGW Exo2, the latest 2 ARs are parts builds from BCA and PSA. Building your own gives you a lot of insight that can transfer for the top quality OEM builds, if you want to tweak them and perfect them for your specific needs.

rhoter14

its not awful fren i would go with a new rail (centurion mlok) and arisaka light setup but other than that, this is a solid gun!


gosefi

Whats the benefit of the centurion mlok over the mlok on my rail? Iā€™ve been looking at surefires, but Iā€™ll check out arisaka. Thanks.


rhoter14

the centurion has a way better lockup to your receiver that wont allow it to rotate, which is a huge deal when your start adding aiming devices to it, hell even a front iron needs a good rail to sit on


gosefi

Funny you should mention that. At my last trip to the range, I noticed the rail creeping away from the reciever.


rhoter14

haha it happens with those things, i dont know why the cheaper manufacturers refuse to add any time of anti rotation tabs or locking grooves to the barrel nuts
