Painted AR's - show 'em off!

Painted job looks A+ to me.

I had to remove the paint on my receiver extension because the Magpul SL was too tight!

Thanks Man!

I printed off a picture of multicam and then used a razor blade to cut the shapes into a stencile. Then the hard part was figuring out the proper order to lay the colors down. I practiced on an old laptop cover until I was happy. Here's another photo that shows the shapes a little better. The 10.5 is my most recent PSA pistol build.

what muzzle device is on your pistol?

**turnburglar** · 01-31-19, 18:55

its a PSA "fluted flash can"? It came that way, as the rail and muzzle device are almost fitted. It's a 12" rail BTW. You can check out the full story of the pistol in the AR pistol forum.

this is my 11.5 SBR with a 10" BCM handguard and my el cheapo Levang muzzle device. It works great but I have been hoping to find someone with a busted end 13" or 15" BCM handguard.....so I can cut it right to the end of my Levang, and paint it.

I like how your handguard is at the edge of your fwd blast muzzle device.

I have 38-39" arm length....and needs some extra room to stretch. I might gain an inch but I like the look.

The way you WML is mounted, I dont know if you would want to push it too much further forward with a longer rail??

Thats my favorite way to mount a light btw. Although my pistol doesnt have a light yet. I think I am going to just use the same exact setup I have on my 14.5. The streamlites are just too good of a rifle light for the price. I have been using that Protac2 since it was released.

I am now curious if this rail would shrowd proplery on a suppresor? Would there be too much thermal bridging between the barrel nut and the suppresor getting hot on either end of the rail?

its probably more for looks as I dont like the skinny Levang sticking out but it does the job, so I wont change it out.

The light would probably go a couple of slots fwd, but I dont want it to overhang and get burned during long training events.
