They look awesome TTC! Great color, and you did a super job applying it. Does that Cerakote color match the Magpul furniture pretty closely? Or is it a bit darker?
Can't wait for the Magpul AK handguards to come out. |

Shooting a gun is like being intimate with a woman. First, you inspect it to make sure it's clean. Then you grab it on the butt and jam the magazine in. If it doesn't fit, make it.

Looks even better in person. I wish I could find a good backdrop to show how complex the color actually is. Dan_gray on here did the work for me, so you can always ask him what ratio he used.

Has anyone seen FDE and Magpul FDE side by side? Is there much of a difference?
