I don't think this has been done.

Just got an M5 Kodiak Brown stripped lower on the way. I'm not entirely sure which way I want to take this build. Since it's a LFAR, I'm thinking about doing like a 13" 308 build. Impractical I know but would def be fun.
Part of me wants to do like a 417 assaulter build but quad rails in LFAR are a bit hard to come by. Then I though maybe like stealing a bit of the aesthetic ideas from the Sig SPEAR. (Mlok rail, do all the furniture in a FDE/Coyote Brown, RAL-8000 mix), another piece of me wants to do the receiver and handguard in the Kodiak Brown and then to black furniture. I'm leaning towards the black and brown standpoint though. Not quite sure yet. Probably keep an eye out for some parts over black Friday and then just Bob Ross it, let it come together on it's own. |

Anyone else get in on the Geissele blem sale? Have a 13.5 Mk16 headed my way to build out on some Aero kodiak receivers and buffer tube.
I don’t even know if I have room in my safe for another AR but I’m going for a no black build. Down to coating the barrel and buying tano takedown pins. |

View Quote Yeah the more I poke around I think I'm going to do a SPEAR / m110a1 color scheme. Even the receivers on the hk are more brownish it seems. . The question is now barrel length, do I do 13" and do it as a pistol, a 13.7" pinned and welded or 16" rifle. . Idk right now I sort of want to get a few lowers in the small frame and large frame varieties. Fde, brown and the ODG would be a cool little set in each. |

The pistol brace fight is looking optimistic but a few big cases have flipped as of late. I have a 10.3 pistol that needs a new barrel but I’m waiting out the brace ban BS. |

That's funny no doubt. I did buy a black 7" MK4 Blemula rail a few moths ago, and I can't find ANY blems. At all. I do, however like the little Count engraving. A "badge of honor" so to speak. |

Blems are life man. Even my lower has some tiny tiny blems in it. But I sort of like that. Keeps me from shedding a tear the first time I put a mark in it. There's a time and place for perfection. Swiss watches, 1911s....etc. But in this context I like the small marks. Gives it some character. |

Just ordered mine as I thought they were $160 or $180 last I looked. (I have no affiliation with them.) C158 but the bolt and gas key are nitride but I can live with that. A PSA bolt group is like $80 cheapest and this was what I wanted to get for the build so I’m a happy camper.

I don't need a clear ano upper, but I may very well get one anyway. Clear ano stuff is so cool. Now, if I can convince Arisaka to do a clear ano finger stop, as he does the WML mount in clear. And, it's my favorite finger stop.. he could do it. Actually, he should stop doing FDE Cerakote and do clear instead. Would also like to see Unity do a hot button in clear. Already have one of their special run FAST RD mounts on clear. Thanks for posting @CORDrew |
