Thanks. ADCO Accupoint TR20-1 Those are 6.5 rounds and mags, but I don't have the kit yet. That's a 5.56 barrel. |

I demand to know where you got the skull stencil. My brigade of bullet-dodging groundhogs will be over to collect the stencils in the morning. Leave the stencils and two peanut-butter sandwhiches on the back porch and pretend like nothing is wrong. Seriously dude, that ROCKS!!! |

I've only said this three times in my life about a gun. Brother when I look at this, I get wood!  And yes, I paint... and I have an extra M4 that will be in a similar scheme very soon. Thanks for the idea's and if you don't mind I might play with the skull too! Dan |

GS, it's difficult to tell with the white balance in those photos...but is that Olive Grey slightly green as the name would imply? I'm working on picking colors for a future Urban Digital I hope to do (on a future AR), and I'm looking for 3 distinct shades/tints of grey. I'm limiting my use of black because I want it Grey, Grey, Grey with a couple black specs. My own version of Urban Digital. |

Thanks. I wish I could see these colors in person. I'm probably going to pick colors based on internet photos, and I'm betting I'll buy the wrong colors first try. But then again, I can probably mix and tint these myself to get what I want...I just won't be able to replicate those colors in the future. |

Cripes that's beautiful!  Gr8, when you painted the stock and grip, what was the original plastic color? Also, does duracoat chip or flake off of plastic? I'm afraid I've never used it before. I was going to do my XCR in FDE using Magpul accessories over the original black XCR, but that just changed. I'm going to go for some kind of hybrid between FDE and urban grey (such as it looks in the picks rather than in real life). I guess those FDE PMags I got for it will have to go for one of my new AR lowers, and USGI's coming back to the XCR. LOL! I can't wait to begin doing crap like this!  Uh........ Is it difficult?  ETA: Forgot to ask. You say that's a 5.56 barrel. Is it a standard weight or a heavyweight? You didn't have it cut back either, did you? When I got mine, there was only the standard weight. If I can get that look without having to blow $350+ for a new barrel, I'd be very happy. |

It's very durable on plastic. I lightly sand the parts, then degrease them thoroughly with denatured alcohol.

Not at all if you take your time and prep correctly. It's incredibly easy, actually. ETA: Forgot to ask. You say that's a 5.56 barrel. Is it a standard weight or a heavyweight? You didn't have it cut back either, did you? It's a HBAR fluted by ADCO. No, it's an 18.6" barrel When I got mine, there was only the standard weight. If I can get that look without having to blow $350+ for a new barrel, I'd be very happy. If you want to get an HBAR, you could probably recoup much of the cost by selling your light barrel at xcrforum.com. Good luck with your XCR. Please post pics when you're done. |

Are you saying that the Hbar or light barrel is worth more? How much are people paying for each one? Thanks! |
