    Paint new logo on lower

    Hey everybody!

    I've decided to paint a logo on the right hand side empty space of my lower receiver. I'm thinking of using something like the biohazard symbol or Magpul logo (with permission from the company). What logos have some of you painted on the side of your ARs? Any cool looking ones that stick out to you? Thanks!

    BTW this is a BCM lower for a SPR upper if it matters.

    An AR15 as a fashion accessory is an odd concept, but if you're going to do it, consider having it laser engraved rather than "painted". Orion Arms, Ident Marking, Harford Engraving....

    If you're doing the work yourself you wouldn't need to ask for permission to use a logo, but if someone else charges you for the work they probably would.

    Not big on painting a gun just for the sake of it myself, but if it makes you feel funny...

    Ideas like this always end up begging the question "why?" If you've a good answer for that, a clear sense for what you're trying to accomplish, and some significant reason for selecting a particular design, then more power to you: adorn away.

    For most of us, however, there really isn't a very good answer to that question. The longer we ponder such things, the more we tend to conclude that what once seemed like a very cool idea is actually pretty cheesy in most cases.

    My advice would be to paint clear identifying markings on your magazines, and hold off on the receiver pimping. Unless you have a communicable disease or some special connection to Magpul, neither of your opening ideas really carries all that much cachet with those who actually use their rifles.

    Please don't be offended, but this is rather silly.
