Cabela's has it for 22.99 a box of 20. [Edit] Nevermind it's on a 1-2 week back order...sorry. What about blue and silver tip glazers? Anyone like those?

Welcome from Clarksville back at ya.

The build is now complete. The Infidel was taken off the side, but the POW/MIA was left on the opposite side. Here's the gun p0rn.

Very nice I had one similar setup, with a folding foregrip, replaced the rear sight with a mount and a Doctor on it, and an old Romanian wood pistol grip and side folding skeleton stock I had sitting around...gave it to my Dad for a just because I'm in town present, he liked it. Nice work on it, let me know how the sling works out for you I might have to get something similiar for his.

Just throwing this into the mix, but has anyone seen the Glock 21 .50 Cal Conversion. Wait until Glock starts manufacturing these...will it be the Glock 50? You can be the judge of that. Anyways here is the article: Police Magazine

I didn't buy it that way, I did that with time, patients, blue 3M tape and Duracoat. It's all hand cut and sprayed by myself. thanks for the good words, hopefully my frend feels the same about it.

Latest build. I'm building an AR for a friend that's in the Airforce, we were on the same firebase in Iraq. This is the project so far, still having trouble getting barrels in. I have the rest of the parts just have to Duracoat them still. Just looking for opinions, not too bad in my opinion for laying out the pattern with some blue 3m tape and an exacto knife.

I'm fond of my MOD (Masters of Defense) Allen Elishewitz Nightwing, with the serrated back and partial serrated blade. I've also got a Gerber LMF II Infantry, it's extremely nice. Cool guy points will go to the MOD knife though, it comes with a sheaththat has an outside pouch that you can put an M9 mag or a multi-tool in.

Welcome Walton from a fellow new guy to the forum.

What about folks like me, I keep my pistol in the top drawer of my night stand...just like dad used to do, the shotgun closest to the bed between the nightstand, my AR between the nightstand and a 10/22 under myside of the bed...along with a few suprises I don't care to mention for any potential bad guys. Do they make a rack big enough to keep all of my home protection needs at my fingertips?

I'm going to have to agree Harbor Freight will have some decent cheap punches, if you want a little better quality you can run to walmart and get some Stanley's nd if you're willing to shell out the big bucks get to Sears and get some Craftsman ($45 for a set of 16 or $5 a peice). Or you can do what I did and get on Midway and get some good Lyman Roll Pin Punches, Lymans Brass/Nylon hammer, Grace Brass Punches and then go to Sears and get some good steel punches and a nice ball peen hammer.

I'm always willing to take on new jobs as long as they are local, and by local I mean as long as you are willing to meet me atleast half way. And as long as I'm in town long enough to get the work done. I'm still looking to build my camo portfolio, I think I have the multi-cam thing down, I've got two-tone down, I've got solid colors down and I'm still working on getting intracate designs down. After talking to a few guys on 1911.com for a multi-cam job like that we came up with $175 for a pistol (full pistol, 1x mag), $250 for a bolt action (stock and barrel done seperate to give better apperance + scope (scope caps are a no-go...for some reason they don't cooperate with me)) and $300 for an "assault"/tactical rifle (3x accessories i.e. eotech, foregrip, flip-up front and rear sights (I count them as the same)) and $25 per accessory above what's listed. Less intracate patterns will obviously be priced accordingly. I sand blast if necessary, or just rough up the surface to give the duracoat something to bond to, degrease after a good cleaning, phosphorus coat, then start laying on the camo.

On average from start of drawing to masking the firearm it's about 2.5/3 hours for a rifle and about an hour and a half or so for a pistol for each mask. There are 2 of the full length masks for the browns and greens and the accent (brown and white) dots are just negative masks and those take about an hour to do and there are two of them. In all is about 8 or more hours of just taping in a rifle and about 5 in a pistol.

To lay out the patterns I comandeered my wife's big cutting board and used some 3" wide blue 3m low adhesive tape. I'd draw the pattern with a perminant marker, and cut it out with an exacto knife. All camo weapons that I Duracoat are truely custom, I don't use plotter cut generic patters. The bumble bee was actually hard to zero so I sold it and got a stuffed gorilla.

These are a few of my personal AR-15's as well as some projects I've done for a few friends. I do all my own Duracoating as well as all the work on my builds. http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt314/gunrunner32/Duracoat/IMG_1033.jpg http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt314/gunrunner32/Duracoat/ARCOMPLETE3.jpg http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt314/gunrunner32/Duracoat/IMG_1002.jpg http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt314/gunrunner32/Duracoat/IMG_1029.jpg in the first picture it is a friends AR that I did in a Multi-cam pattern as well as all the accessories, as well as my AR that I did in a satin black to mimic an airsoft gun (just need the blaze orange on the tip). the second picture is an AR that I built and put a Tiger-stripe pattern on for my dad for fathers day (it was my first duracoat project so it's not as good as what I'm producing now) the third is a Glock 17 that was done in a Multi-cam pattern for the same guy. The 4th is a Remington 700 that as you can see is in a Multi-cam pattern done for...you guessed it...the same guy. I've got a few more projects I'm working on right now, one's getting rid of the Nickel Teflon coating on a POF AR and doing a solid black on it, I've g another AR I'm doing in a ghost AM Pinstripe pattern with 2 hues of black and possibly with the POW/MIA symbol on the side of the upper and lower, I'm also putting a custom job on my XD with what I'm refering to as an "urban multi-cam" as well as my units flash on the pistol grip...those pictures will follow later.

I've been part of ar-15.com/1911.com now for a few years, they have some great guys on there, but it's national. It got me thinking if there was a gun owners forum for Tennessee, so now here I am. A lttle about myself. I'm in the Army, I like building AR-15's, I Duracoat, I mountain bike, I rock climb, spend time with my wife and daughter since the Army keeps me away from them more than I'd like. I hope to find the same friendships here that I have at 1911.com.
