AR-15 BS Thread

speaking of spraypaint..does anyone have a favorite that is closest to parkerized in texture? My Colt AR-9 mags are very slick and smooth bare metal. I spray painted (flat black) them to give them a little texture for easier grip. My SLR rifleworks handguard is hard anodized and is pretty slick too.
I have wondered if the chalkboard spraypaint would produce results closer parkerization? I have read it is very durable.

 

I used high temp flat black on my C308/G3 clone. Really close to a parkerized finish.

 

Why not just do a actual parkerized finish? It’s easier with a blaster but you don’t NEED one if your not afraid of a little elbow grease and sanding.

Brownells use to have the solution. It’s been some years since I’ve looked..pretty much since cerakote was a thing but I’m willing to bet they still gots it in their inventory.

 

How do you like that bipod? I bought one to replace a Harris.

 

@IPNPULZ this you?

fuuuuuuuuck. unbelievable he's not dead

 

I thought it was worth posting.
Safety is alway's a big concern around any kind of firearms.

 

Holy fuck. Lucky to be alive is an understatement

 

I'm sure this is going to give a lot of gun-tubers pause. First WhistlinDiesel catching shrapnel to the face, now this.

 

Hate that guy

 

The content is unique. However, if he were a guy in a bar, I’d find a reason to punch him lol

 

WhistlinDiesel's accident was avoidable. Common sense should have prevented it. This was a freak accident. The military used to sabotage a few rounds in a case by adding a small amount of plastic explosive to a round and then "losing" them to the enemy. This worked great because it would almost always destroy the rifle, and often the person using it. I wonder if this was one of those.

 

not likely since it was not a Combloc caliber. The military would do that in Viet Nam against NVA or VC ammo caches, but not to their own rounds

 

that's the story I heard. Project Eldest Son.

 

Showed that video to my dad, can’t believe he’s still alive after that, what a story. Crazy how that round went off with that kind of pressure.

 

I would hazard to guess someone double charged it at the factory. We've all seen that in the last few years with various manufacturers, and since this was a war-time production round, very well could have happened.

 

Milsurp ammo really is a gamble, though I've never had an issue with any of it. Pretty much all of the milsurp I have is 7.62x54R, manufactured in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Maybe combloc countries just preserved their ammo better?
