    That's the difference I'm pointing out. I don't mean to piss on anybody's paint job. Paint it whatever color(s) and patterns you want. I'm just saying that in my humble opinion a home paint job is about like a home gunsmithing job. Whether or not it's quality depends to large degree on who and how it was done and whether or not it looks like some dude with too much free time wanting to run around in the woods playing militia.
    Actually Mr. Safari, what you have been saying is that anyone who rattle cans paints their AR is:
    1) an amateur or what was it? ”Billy Bob amateurish”
    2) a wannabe that runs around the woods playing militia. (We called it “playing Army”)
    3) A person trying to steal valor.

    Your words, not mine.

    Question for you Doc Safari - do you build any of your AR’s or all they all bought as complete rifles in one form or the other?

    Too much butthurt for a subject that could be fun. Sorry if I offended anybody. I just felt like having a little fun with a subject for a change instead of all the deadly serious current events n stuff.

    Frankly I was hoping somebody would make such a good argument in favor of painting that it would convince me to do one of my rifles.

    The only argument you needed was potentially being thought of as a “mall ninja”.

    Well, yeah, no money for clothing.

    ETA: Last night I thought I posted a whole epistle explaining the difference between bidet and boudoir, plus explaining the concepts and techniques of boudoir photography.

    I somehow deleted it and, after a good night's sleep am no longer inspired to share my knowledge of these subjects.

    Tomorrow though, if you insist, I will ask my Pastor if I need to repent regarding my usage of the shower hose to rinse off with. (yeah, I know, a preposition)

    Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.

    Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

    I have put a couple on and the only immediate downside I can see with Gunskins is that they are kinda slick. I really haven't had them out using them to comment on durability, but if my assumption that they are the same thing as car wraps is correct they should be fairly tough.
