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.

Nice. IIRC That is the one you built, right? Looks good.

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

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.

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'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.
