    Great question. I went back and forth about it, but the simple fact of the matter is cerakote is constrained by the creativity of the applicator while water transfer offers a genuine pattern transfer onto the item. I'll see if I can post a pic of cerakote mandrake or multicam brb

    You can see some of the pattern but it is nowhere near as complete as water transfer. Cerakote is however, a much more sturdy coating.

    Anyone have a clue how to set up a GhostGunner Machine? Thought it was supposed to be plug and play, it has a bunch of computer nerd info in it. I just want to plug it in and start my next 4 projects

    Got myself an optic for my next build a the gunshow on Saturday.

    Leupold VX-III 1.5-5 illuminated with german reticle. Best of all I traded an erma I had $170 in and ran like a mad man. Now I'm looking for more parts for the build.

    And the build with be an SBR in .300 blackout with a suppressor

    I think I've changed my plans a bit, I'm gonna SBR my contender and put a .300 blackout barrel on it and then put this scope on it

    ^ Cool. Specs look great - how much more than a Colt 6933?

    Price seems comparable. $1100 ish from what I understand. I was considering the Colt, however I don't want the 10.3" barrel really. From what I've read 11.5"-12.5" is a better all around setup with a carbine gas barrel.

    Just got off the phone with them. $999 is the price for that rifle but they are now shipping 11.5" barrels instead of 12.5" which is fine with me. I also found a dealer an hour away in Richmond who will be getting some in stock soon.

    Yeah, I'd love a 12.5", but...

    $999 is killer!

    I run a 10.5, but I'd opt for an 11.5 if I were to do it over, just a bit more reliability and better ballistics. When you hit 12.5 and above your tax stamp seems to be pretty expensive for what you are getting.

    Success! I had a cycling issue with my AR, the bolt would catch after every round. Took off the BAD lever and it cycles perfectly. Now to figure out if I want to put the lever back on and find a work around or just leave it off...

    Get the phase 5 tactical EBRv1. Because it's the first one made before magpul tried and it works better. Or get the v2 and it replace the bolt catch as a whole. I have two, they work great. Also the tactical link EBRL I had one of those and replaced it with the P5T one. I think I still have it.
