Color fill M&P9 Pro Series

[jeremy155rr]

Decided to play around a little with the crayola color fill method. Probably look like crap when it gets hot and melts but I like the fact that I can take it off easier than I put it on, here it is.

I do that a lot with crayons. It's cool and nonpermanent. I even keep a few white crayons in my cleaning box to refill after I scrub a gun down. A habit I got into years ago in my Mil Surp bolt action mania.

Cool, does it get messy when it gets hot (its my competition gun so it may get a little warm).

Not really. Rub the crayon all over it then wipe off with a clean rag. The engraved portion will stay fill. If it don't, do it again. As far as getting it hot and it running out, I don't see that being a problem. You'd have more cosmoline running out of the stock and any lubricant in the works running out than that. It's paraffin. It's certainly NOT corrosive or damaging to anything it touches even if it did. I actually use a crayon to lubricate the spru plate on my bullet molds when I am casting.

Like I tell people who have seen me do it. Hoppes #9 will wipe it right off. Whatcha got to loose?

Obviously nothing, that M&P looks a LOT better the way you filled it in.

According to Crayola, it'll start to run at about 130 deg F. That's pretty dang hot. It won't burn you immediately, but it'd certainly get your attention.

You can put lipstick on a pig....

Looks good, I like the green.

I think I'm gonna fill in my 15-22 to give it a little something different.

God knows I've got about a brazillion crayons here at the house.

I'm sure it'll look better on the gun than it does on my walls.

If I had it all to do over again I would have waited to buy a house until my children were... well, housebroken
