I don't have any "decals" but since I started building Retros the number of ARs I have has increased sharply. I now have nine of them, with a couple extra upper receiver groups as well.
Since I shoot my ARs often, and I'm constantly switching between them, in order to keep track what gun is doing what at any given time, I started keeping a log for round counts, part replacements, ejection angle etc..with this many guns it is easier if the guns are numbered. Thus most of my ARs have "rack numbers" on the stocks now.
Number 6


Number 3


Number 2 is a special case...it has both a number and a "U Mad" Trollface pin, as a shout-out to my proud heritage as an instigator of trouble.

Are those Brownell's Type D butts or refinished originals?

Brownells, I have them on three guns. The two pictured and one other fixed stock carbine. I've been reserving my originals for Retro builds. (I don't put my rack numbers on original furniture though)

I have stickers on a few of my weapons. The stickers were given to me after being custom made by the (former) owner and founder of Gunskins. I have slapped them on a few weapons, on the tan one, the sticker hides the large blem / engraving, on the CZ Scorpion, I did it because it was easier than slapping my logo on stuff. I also have my logo laser engraved on a few stocks, but those were gifted from KAC, so they hold special meaning to me.

Reviews are pretty mixed on those stocks, with most not being overly impressive. I've kicked around the idea of buying one and putting foam on the empty inside, but it would be nice if Brownells had done that. What are your thoughts on this? Do you feel it needs any additional support?

They do feel quite a bit cheaper than an original although I don't know as the material itself is actually weaker, I suspect not to be honest. I haven't been intentionally running them over or throwing them off buildings or anything but mine have been out in fairly cold weather and suffered the odd fall without breaking. I personally haven't put foam in mine but I don't see any downside to doing it. I don't know as it would really help the structural integrity of the stock itself but the extra density would likely help give it a more "substantial" feel.

Men's room signs on your weapons?
