AR-15 BS Thread

Has anyone had an AR upper cerakoted? Does it effect the function of the dust cover or anything else in an adverse way?

 

Mine didn’t.

 

not if done correctly.

it should be stripped down before “painting”. Not just sprayed over like someone painting over a wall outlet cover.

 

no effect at all

 

I am looking at ordering a kit disassembled. I figure if I want something like that done preassembly would be the perfect time I’d like boy have to disassemble the forward assist and dust cover. This may be the only rifle I build so I’d like to have some fun with it. My others are all just black because I typically don’t care about the colors.

 

20" Colt AR-15A2 (government profile non-HBAR)

 

Since we are are going old school...this is my first AR-15 I saved up and bought when I was 13 in 1985 (That is how we roll in Texas). It is Colt Sporter II. As you can see it has the old style rear sites and the big screw in pivot pin(not a good idea). And no bayonet lug in the 1980s was complete without a Stoner bayonet with wire cutter. My friend says this is a very short lived Colt AR that was not made for very long, because the H-Bars came out shortly after this.

 

Always thought those transitional models were interesting with the A1 lower, A1 upper but A2 barrel and handguards.

I’m just glad I was able to always find Colts w/o the sear blocks.

 

A pic to feed the thread. Did some optic swapping since my lpvo arrived.

 

Well boys can finally post in this thread as just order my lower for my fist AR build!

 

Welcome to the dark side. AR= American Rifle!

 

Looking forward to building something new!

 

Welcome let the games begin! It gets addictive

 

Thanks man! I’m excited!

 

I think I found out why the boss seemed to be in a bad mood today... That's an entire scrap bin full of barrel nuts.

 

Machined off?

 

They have been machined, deburred, anodized, and thrown away.

 

Why?

 

Don't know. It was obvious the boss was in a very bad mood, and by the time I saw these I knew better than to ask him. Don't worry though, that's only like 1-2 days of barrel nuts. I don't think it's going to end up as the barrel nut shortage of 2021.

 

Don’t you put that on us Ricky Bobby
