unless the zombies you're battling think those skulls are representative of your kills.....that might REALLY set them off. Be careful with this kinda stuff could cause trouble;)

Did you do th eAquateen themed rifle?

A prosecuting attorney and jury would love that.
It must be an X-gen/Millennial thing. You could start a Discovery Channel show--West Coast Weapons.

I LOVE that muzzle brake! Damn, that is funny, and I can't believe I have never seen that before. :D

Just curious, how well will the Duracoat hold up to holster wear? I know you can just recoat it when it does.

Great shots, thanks for showing it off. :)

What exactly would the prosecutor say? "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this young man clearly left his home with the intent to murder zombies this morning." Don't pour yellow liquid on the man's parade!

I'd love to see that happen here in Texas. The conversation would be something like this:

"Dang! Y'all come check out Ray's rifle! Ain't she purty?"

Followed shortly by a raffle to reimburse ammunition costs after the shooting.

It's serious BBQ gun material. ;)

Thanks Man.. I’m glad you like it.. The DuraCoat is a firearm finish and does hold up extreamly well.. it’s not a paint it’s more of an epoxy.. Well… There is the fact of life.. All (light colors) show dirt.. MAM……… Let me tell you.. my AR is filthy! When I get back from the range.. luckly the cleaning solvents don't hurt the finish.. Please note I did use the duracoat matt clear finish on it and Man.. I love it..

I cant wait… I’ve already ordered up the duracoat and know what I’ll be doing..

I’m doing a Solute to the troops.. Zombie style on my 870..
Here is what I have planned (PLEASE) tell me if I’m going overboard..

One side will have the reaper holding the severed heads of (Mohamed, bin ladid, etc) and the other side will have full-size skeletons raising American the flag with our boys on top of a bunch of dead Muslim fighters..

I’m really looking forward to this one..

Where's the matching machete?

halo2304

02-14-10, 22:02

That muzzle brake is too awesome! The Glock and rifle are cool as well and they blend in surprisingly well.

That said, I would caution against using the Glock as a carry gun. It's like carrying a knife with skulls on it. It's cool but Sheeple can easily get the wrong impression. WE like it and can appreciate it, but the little old lady on the jury may not. I, and I'm sure I'm not alone, would hate to see someone get hung out to dry for an other wise stock pistol.

Absolutely.. You guys are great as this is not your typically So-Cal hideout where we are little looser on things like this..

Actually (for what it wroth team)… The only time these guns come out of the safe to going to from and from the range.. I’m a dad with two great kids and being 42 now I believe my stupid days are long gone.. I’m doing this for fun and to kill time at nights when the family a sleep..

I actually build 3rd world wheelchairs for the needy here’s my website PLEASE check it out)[/COLOR] www.wheelchairdesigns.com

And work as a project Manger in the construction field.. I’m just having some fun and going places where oonly a few have gone before..

I’m am still going to a be doing a Zombie solute to the troops and F-Y to the enemy thou LOL.LOL..

Quick update on the vest (if anyone cares)..

I’m on track to have it completed by the this coming weekend.. Still tons left to do but coming along nicely (I think)..

If nothing else, no one will pick it up from the rack at the range and think it's theirs :cray: Nice job, that's a lot of time into it and it shows.

Absolutely true artistry! Could you do something with an aviation theme sometime? I wish I had that kind of talent...

Icculus

03-25-11, 16:08

Pretty sweet!:dirol:

Wish I had the skills (not to mention the guts...) to paint a gun up like that.

That being said- from a purely artistic point of view (I see what you were doing making it a form of camo)- I think it would also be an interesting idea, maybe for a future project, to leave the gun black and do like a "skulls in moonlight" kind of theme. Like for the handgun, just with the skulls lining the edge of the slide, and the bottom of the grip, with whitish-blue highlighting to simulate moonlight....

Oh, and I LOVE the muzzle brake. Every .50 should have one of those on it.:D

I agree. More super work Linkpimp

Jellybean, is this kinda like what you're talking about? Scroll down a bit to the "reaper black"

https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=65799

I think this is the company from that thread
http://crc2.net/?attachment_id=982

but when I couldn't remember the what to search for initially I stumbled on this other company which seems to do the same pattern so not sure who came up with it first.
http://www.northwesthydroprint.com/Specialty-patterns.html

Of course those are hydrographics and I bet would be super hard to recreate with duracoat--especially for my non-artistic butt.

I'm starting to really hate photobucket. Half the pics never come up.
Looked on their site instead.
Just when I thought this thread couldn't get any better.... if I ever want any guns painted I'm sending them to CRC.:cool:
The skull designs on some of the later pages (or the Spike rail from thread link) are close. I wasn't thinking so much a ghosty design. Simpler- there's a 'pile of skulls' desktop from 300 that's close. Just not quite as bland- brighter/more contrast between the light and skulls. Basically, just take that line of skulls on the slide of the glock, insert black background, and sit them outside under a full moon.
I guess you could almost say more of a halloween theme....:laugh:

I love all things Horror Always Have! I Love your Work man!!!!!The skulls are a Nice touch on the Vest !!

It is good to be different and not stick to the Norm from Time to time and if you are having Fun and You are happy then that is what it is all about :D
I can see the point some Sheep will look at it like evil because of the paint Job,But In fact they would probably think "what do you need that for?" even if it was Basic Black.

Keep it Up !!
