    Easy to see this with both the CADPAT and MARPAT desert uniforms. With CADPAT, I can barely see the patterns past about 20 yards. Of course the overall color is kind of khaki, and blended well overseas IMO.

    It will wear. We are doing one next to see how it does.

    Most likely, we will just cerakote them.

    Never thought I would want to do this, but holy crap does that look awesome!

    I agree, I like the full scale pattern better.

    Can the hand guard be done at the same time as well to keep the patten "flowing"? Also can the clear coat be done in flat to reduce reflection? If so Take My Money!!!

    We do a Matte Clear Coat, but by nature the ink is slightly reflective. I do not think its possible to have the pattern flow with the hand guard and come out without serious flaws, however i'm going to give it a try with a KAC SR15 Mod 1 next week in Kryptek Raid. I'll post up pics when its done.

    Agreed on the full size, looks better.

    And I could've sworn I've seen a bear that would disagree on the black comment as well.

    This one is a SR-25 type rifle from legion firearms. The pattern is ATACS FG.

    If for some reason you need/want to part with that Legion SR-25, you better believe I want it.
