Got my AR back
Got my AR back
As a Christmas present, my BIL cerakoted the upper and lower receivers, and the barrel on my AR. He did a nice job and I think it looks pretty good. As a bonus, I also got to try out the bayonet I have had for a while. It is frustrating to have an accessory that you can't try out, cause you don't have your gun on hand.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: Got my AR back
millman, that is a really nice finish on that rifle! That's the way an AR type should look IMO.

Re: Got my AR back
Thanks. Yes, I got the lower receiver, and slowly picked up parts as they came available. (read, I found deals on them ) As a result the colors were different, and it looked a little odd. The cerakote fixed that and it is tough as hell.

Re: Got my AR back
I'm not a black rifle fan, but I do like it, kinda has the retro look compared to the over done ones I see, and a bayonet is cool. 
I said I was an addict. I didn't say I had a problem.
Re: Got my AR back
I'm not really a black rifle guy either. I couldn't pass up the deal on the lower, and since I had it I couldn't just let it sit around. I don't like all the rails and stuff, so I went this route. It is even wearing a vintage Swedish Mauser sling.Greasemonkey wrote:I'm not a black rifle fan, but I do like it, kinda has the retro look compared to the over done ones I see, and a bayonet is cool.
