    In my opinion that is better left to air softers and those who like to have safe queens. Other than that I can't see any practical purpose.

    Use a crayon.
    It's what we used during the 90s.

    Nowadays, I hear people using nail polish and all sorts of other coloring products.

    i did mine using model paint and a shaved down tooth pick holds up very well. Def not for people who are in a rush. I think its a good idea for ranges that are state run so every one can see that your rifle is on safe if your bring your rile down the range to change out targets. i know a few other people who did it also and its easy to notice to see if they are on safe or not.

    better way

    For color filling I always use an 31ga. insulin syringe (my father is insulin dependant diabetic) so I. Have acsess to 'em. For paint I have some of my high temp. Ceramic engine paint I use. Just suck it up and push on the plunger until a good steady drop wicks out...then just slowly trace the marking. Let dry and aplly another coat if needed.

    China Pencil, modeler's paint, etc.

    It's an HK look.

    Next you will be discussing using your little sisters' or daughter's Bedazzler and what is the best location to tacti-coolly place rhinestones on your AR.
