I can't say this is a fact, because I'm just a dummie, but it was the impression I got. That raptor is a legit piece of gear, and certainly clone correct after CD's post     EDIT for ownage:  |

Well I just gave up on AU and cancelled my SOCOM RC order. Ended up buying the RC2 from Silencer Shop.
The RC2 is exactly the same as the RC for the mounts correct? So I will be able to use a 3 prong or 4 prong with it? |

You will have to adjust your grip a little if you ever decide to finish your build out with a PEQ Yeah, I know the ATPIAL-C rides a little lower, but with my old setup using the DBAL-I², I was still able to sort of jerry rig a similar grip for myself. Exhibit A:  </a>PSX_20150326_003355 " />
It's broken now, because the IR laser plug part of the switch came loose and broke in transit to the range a few months ago, so I decided the DBAL-I² will just go on my SPR build. I figure I'll dial it in to like 15 yards and it will give it a little bit of CQB range if ever needed. But basically what I did, was wittle down the sides of the Surefire dual pressure switch, like so:  </a>LrMobile0912-2015-0240673541378775952" />
...and then it fits nice and snug under the rail cover, and the DBAL, giving me almost the exact same grip as before, with the switches in all the right spots.
 </a>LrMobile0912-2015-0259673380148428292 " />
Now I'm rocking the AFG on my DD upper, and this is the current, albeit light switch only, setup I have now. I'm just using the button on the back of the Surefire on the Colt upper for now.  </a>20151203_105427 " />
Still have to figure out a way to stop that wire from overheating, but on the plus side, I didn't have to cut down the switch in this iteration, I just had to cut the rail covers in certain spots.

Well it did up until the IR plug broke on it. Fuckin' thing wouldn't stay in for shit. The plug that came with it has a nice snap when you plug it in, and stays in much better. If I ever went back to this configuration, I'd probably just try and cut both wires and splice the new/better one on, and then wrap a rubber band or a zip tie on it so it doesn't come out on me. Anyway, question; Do any of you guys running the 3 or 4p flash hiders have this problem on your RC? I mean, it's not so much a problem, because I really don't care if it get's scratched/dirty (who wants a brand new shiny gun, right? ), but I was just wondering if the cera/duracoat is chipping off from the heat on anyone else's that is running strictly 3 or 4p flash hiders.

Okay, I just thought I might be putting an excessive amount of abuse on that part of the suppressor with the breaks on. I mean, they do let out quite the fireball.  Youtube Screenshot gun 4" />
Also, either tomorrow, or sometime very soon is going to be the day I work up the balls to rattle can my lower and (probably) my black DD upper (no, I don't plan on spraying the FSP, lol). Any tips? I know I gotta get some degreaser, but what colors go well together, what should I remember to tape up that isn't obvious, etc. Also, what do you use to get this sort of finish: 
Is it some sort of netting that you drape over? Also, in my search for that finish, I found this. Looks pretty badass. Does anyone know what suppressor that is, and more importantly, what colors they are? lol

So this may sound stupid, but I tried this today when I painted the rifle pictured below... I've painted a few rifles and stripped them as well. Each time, there are always some bits that are hard to strip, in corners and grooves. Today, I gave it a primer coat of black so if I strip it, it will be easier to get it looking clean (assuming that if I get most of it, the base residue will be black and thus harder to spot)... CQBR/MK18 work in progress included so it's less blasphemous.
As far as tips, shake well, apply thin coats, use blue painters tape on anything you don't want painted, roll up a posterboard and shove it between your rail and barrel if you don't want paint on your barrel (easier with no FSP), use a laundry bag for mesh pattern, and make sure it isn't too humid - especially if you're using Aervoe in my experience.

I ground off with a dremil, then put a piece of sandpaper flat on table and just got to rubbing. Yeah, that probably would have been faster, lol. I think when I started, I was worried I was going to cut into a wire or something, and I didn't know exactly what was on the inside of that switch, and where. So I basically just started farther out than I needed, and then just kept trying to fit it under/between the rail cover and DBAL, cutting away more and more until it fit snug. as long as it works. Well it did up until the IR plug broke on it. Fuckin' thing wouldn't stay in for shit. The plug that came with it has a nice snap when you plug it in, and stays in much better. If I ever went back to this configuration, I'd probably just try and cut both wires and splice the new/better one on, and then wrap a rubber band or a zip tie on it so it doesn't come out on me. Anyway, question; Do any of you guys running the 3 or 4p flash hiders have this problem on your RC? I mean, it's not so much a problem, because I really don't care if it get's scratched/dirty (who wants a brand new shiny gun, right? ), but I was just wondering if the cera/duracoat is chipping off from the heat on anyone else's that is running strictly 3 or 4p flash hiders.

From the look of it, just a laundry bag type of netting will do. Basically, spray a solid base coat (I start with a tan color) and then after that dries to the touch, lay a net over it, and hit it in spots or stripes with a darker color, in areas around the weapon. After that dries to the touch, move the net a bit, and hit it again with a lighter color. Alternate darker and lighter, overlapping areas so some of the background netting lines are dark, and some are light. Here's the paint I used: 
And, using a larger fishing net, got this result: 
Also, as a matter of fact, if you notice on the SF Mini, the finish has flaked off, revealing a lighter and flatter tan color. Also, TNW's advice on taping, light coats, etc. are spot on. |

That said, it appears to be layered (I may be wrong) like multiple coats, and the outermost one flakes off, but is still DE underneath. I actually think it looks a little more flat since it did that, and it doesn't bother me at all.

Everything on it, except the grip, will be coated. That ACOG and RMR might be a little tricky. Also, I actually can't get that grip off at the moment. DD, in all their wisdom, put this bolt in on the grip.  AR-15com guns photo 4" />
I remember I had to cut off the original grip that it came with to get it off, but in all of MY wisdom, I decided it was a good idea to use the damn thing over again  , and now I can't get the socket over it to back it out. So I'll probably just end up taping it up or just spraying over it.
