Since coating the mags has been a big hit, I thought I would have some Receiver Extensions (buffer tube) done to match the Magpul CTR stocks. They turned out really good and match the Magpul stock perfectly!

I had wondered when you were going to announce these. They were on the counter top last two times I was in your shop.

As you have seen, there are so many things that I have in the shop that have NEVER made it to the internet yet.

and those pictures from that time that... oh... :eek:

Hey, I have not had much chance to play with Cerakote, but I hear it as about as hard as chinese algebra -- what is the typical surface buildup, if you were trying to keep it thin? Do you know?

Somewhere around 3-4 thousandths.

See, I was anti black rifle before being anti black rifle was cool. :cool: And to think of all the heck I have caught in the past for not liking them black. :(

Might have to pick up one or two of these when I place my next order for some mags......(which I havent forgotten about)

I wil be honest, having them match the color for just one stock isn't really worth it (sorry).

Lyrch has been popping into the shop about every 2 weeks. He always seems a little lighter when he leaves.

No, its called not working two jobs! Working 10hrs a day for the Govt. and then running G&R till midnight EVERYNIGHT, 7 days a week was sucking my creativity out. :D

So does this thickness have any appreciable affect on mating the extension to the receiver?

None. If anything it makes the RE slicker.

No doubt, luckily for me I have most of my builds-in-progress done. If that were not the case I would be wearing a sign "Will talk guns for food" around my neck.

Grant,

I've done this on a few custom builds for friends, and it really makes for a sharp looking build. People who are worried about an increased thickness need not be, it won't do anything in that regard.

Agree. It doesn't change anything and looks much nicer than black RE IMHO.
