    This is version 2 I think of a customers gun that he bought from Marty. Started out with an A2 upper.
    I milled out a flat top and coated it in a light green, same as the mag.
    He took it out and was having feeding issues so back it came back. Reshaped and polished the feed ramps and talked him into letting me have my way with it coating wise. ( he was scared, hence the mono color in the first place)

    He never bought the dang foam so I wrapped the stock. First time I'd done that. Just need to trim the tail at the butt pad.
    Barrels threaded for the can thats coming
    I seem to have lots of customers that will just give me a weapon and let me do whatever I want. Thats the way I like it.
    Enjoy

    That's a hot gun man. Diggin the coating job on that.

    Once I get a good hunting AR, rockmup, I know I'm gonna have to toss it your way. I'm also a fan of letting the artist do what he wants with just a general guideline for style. That's why the artist is an artist - because he knows what he's doing. Same with tattoos. If you're gonna get something you're gonna have to look at as much as a gun coating or a tattoo - you are better off letting the artist be an artist than trying to do the art for him and let him just copy it onto you/your gun.
