Well, would you rattle can your Geissele Super Duty? Just curious?

In a heartbeat. Unless is was anodized green, then I’d take a sec to admire it before painting it.
Your painted rifle is ugly, but I’m uglier, so send it to me and I’ll make it look good!

I would unless it's my grey boy.

I did…

Along with an Aimpoint M5 and a Surefire Turbo with Unity switch.

Also has Edgar Sherman sling, Magpul Pro backup sights and furniture.

I have several Geissele rifles I train with and I carry a 14.5 at work.

Decided to rattle can this 14.5 recently and it will see 7-8K rounds before Fall

I can't work up the courage to paint my 10 yr old S&W Sport, paint a new G$ rifle, I think I'd pass out.

I did a SD 10.3 and a BCM 11.5. Not a big deal but 90% of rattle can jobs look kinda crappy.

If it was black yes. Mine is DDC though and 50 shades looks better than the boring 3 color Krylon camo you see on every PSA.

Check out Rapco. They use military colors instead of 1970’s refrigerator green and 1980’s cream colored couch tan like Krylon and Rustoleum use, and they’re actually lubricant resistant. Better colors and immensely more durable. Plus it’s made by dudes who actually shoot instead of a bunch of corporate DEI ladies.

I have never spent as much on a gun and I am reluctant to do it.

If it’s just a tool you use to improve your skills why not.

I’ve got several rifles but they all get used frequently… no safe queens, no collectors items.

If you think it makes it more functional than plain black (which I do) then go for it.

Thats my issue. I think my ability to make it look good is way short and I would be pissed when it came out looking like poo.
Every normal man, at times, must be tempted to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Paint it.  At the end of the day it’s a tool to be used.  Have some fun and customize it.  Rapco has new colors, looks like the same paint numbers that aervoe used to produce.

I can't bring myself to rattlecan my homebuilt Stag guns.

Ain't no way I'm going to rattlecan something like a Geiselle!

Paint one of the home built rifles.  Black rifles are boring.

If you don't like it strip the paint back off. I painted two a couple years ago and decided to strip the paint off when the Rustoleum started getting gooey from oil. I used citri strip and a power washer and they turned out pretty good, you have to look really hard to see any hint of paint residue.

I have a case of RAPCO that's been sitting in the closet since last fall that's waiting to go on these rifles once the temps get high enough to do it outside. Just can't decide if I want to go with a green or brown theme.

Unless you're planning to sell it at some point, there is no reason not to.   If you paint it and don't like it, then just repaint it.  I rattle canned my Larue.
I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.

I guess l should paint one pussy pink now and maybe my tyrant... er... governor may not be quite so offend by it.

On second thought, he's not into pussy.  So maybe asshole brown instead.

I wouldn’t rattle can an Anderson. But you be you, just don’t expect me to buy your rattle canned shit for full price.

Who hurt your feelings?
Your painted rifle is ugly, but I’m uglier, so send it to me and I’ll make it look good!

If it weren’t for double standards, we’d have no standards at all.

Not for sale anyway… I use my gear.

I don’t abuse it for no reason or drag it behind the truck

I will probably go through 10K in training ammo this year
