Just finished my latest build

[gunrunner32]

This is the latest build, not too bad 4 AR's in 2 years and throw a deployment in the mix getting in the way of progress. Here's a quick parts rundown, Sun Devil Lower filled with DPMS parts, Magpul MIAD, Magpul front and rear MBUS, YHM Diamond 1 peice FF Rail, MI rail height gas block, Tangodown foregrip, DPMS chrome bolt, Badger latch, 14.5" chrome lined Del-ton barrel capped with a YHM Phantom 5C1.

Here's the gun porn:

The magazines (both sides) from left to right on second picture; SF unit patch, SF cross arrow skull and Punisher skull:

Rifle close-ups:

All images were drawn onto 3M painters tape and cut by hand and the paint color is Duracoat Magpul Flat Dark Earth, the darker tan has some black mixed into it and the lighter has some white mixed into it to get the contrast.

Nice work You must have a real steady hand to be able to cut stencils like that

A steady hand and an almost OCD approach to everything tends to help when doing these projects.

[EDIT] Murgatory, I didn't want to finish the tops of the mags since I didn't want them to start wearing away and having to refinish them later. The tolerances aren't bad and they don't hinder the performance of anything. I have the mag release completely covered and there are some fairly tight tolerances there and I have no problem with anything sticking in there. Once the mags are in the mag well the unfinished portion doesn't show.

Why are the mags only partially finished? Does the Duracoat add to much to the tolerances to make them fit properly if completely coated?
