    Default How do you feel about AR15 color fill?

    I just finished self color fill on a Spike's stripped lower. Yay or Nay?

    Before:



    After:



    I can soak it and remove before the rest of the build. Just curious what you all thought?

    I think it looks cool. Why? Are you thinking that you don't like it? I did the same thing with my Noveske. Yours looks better though so I may put another layer of the red on mine.

    I DO like it, but I also like the all black look. I guess I'm kind of torn. I really think the color is a good thing (functional) on the fire/safe markers, but I am afraid the rest could be too much, so I thought I'd bounce it off the forum.

    I've done full color fill on all my AR's except for my Camo Duracoated one. I like it. I use high end nail polish (about 9 dollars a bottle from a salon supply store) for my fill jobs. To make the red really pop out use a coat of white first. I also reccomend French Manicure for the white. Think it's called Alpine white.

    Looks great. I've tried white out on my Mosin-Nagant but it never looked good. I should have tried nail polish.

    I can't imagine running an M4 without one! I shoot the rifle lefty so reaching over the top of the rifle to hit the bolt catch kind of sucked. I strip the magazine with my right thumb, replace it and drag my thumb on the way down to release the bolt. I've tried to accidentally engage the bolt catch and it's really hard to do unless you mean to do it. It's actually Troy's take on the BAD, they just call it an ambi bolt catch. I bought it because it looked like there were more grip serrations than on the Magpul and I was able to buy it locally.
