I think it turned out okay. Need to enlarge the holes in the guard a little bit and straighten it out.

I would suggest going light on the media blasting (and use a fine-grain medium). A rough texture will hold dirt, oil, etc and will be difficult to clean. Although, if you're into the nitty-gritty look, that would be the way to go.Indy wrote:Next up is a media blast on the barrel for a more subdued look without all the stainless bling factor.
Only need two. This one gets the optics and the long barrel, the other one gets irons/Eotech and a 10" barrel. Kind of a SHTF package. This one's chambered in .223, while the next one will have a proper 5.56 chamber to handle mil- ammo. I suppose I could also save cash and swap uppers on the same lower but that gets complicated if you have an NFA registered shorty.The Dark Side of Will wrote:AR's are not cheap weapons.

Amusing that the Chinese make aftermarket parts for an American weapon and the American gun enthusiast... but they do the same thing for cars, so it shouldn't be surprising.
Chambered for .223?

BTW, is that a 24" barrel?
Nice KISS build. I dig the A2 stock on a midlength.Indy wrote:Finished AR#3 that I did for my dad (AR#2 is still incomplete). Weighed in at 6lbs 12oz. Don't have any pictures of the process, pretty much all the same that you've already seen.
