[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 2186838, member: 4701"] Sure. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56338680/LF.net/DSCF3453.jpg[/IMG] Here's my BCM midlength that I painted a couple of years ago. I actually did this at a semi-abandoned oil/gas site next to Indian Hills Rd in OKC in one evening. I hung the rifle with bailing wire from a fencepost and masked off the weaponlight lens and button (due to the rubber which paint won't stick to and gets gummy), the top portion of the front sight post, the top portion of the rear sight and I used the cover on the Aimpoint T-1. A foamie earplug was shoved down into the A2 birdcage to protect the bore. The paint job itself took about an hour using Arvoe paints. The base layer was a coyote-ish type brown and after a bit of sun and dry time I would hit it with alternating shades of greens, a darker brown and I also found a fantastic 'earth red' that goes great with the red dirt in this state. Stencils were a sheaf of tall grass cut from the road bar-ditch nearby and a small twig with lots of leaves from a nearby tree. Anytime I was waiting on a coat to set up a bit I would work on a bunch of mags I had laid out on cardboard. (hint: don't paint the tops!) Sunlight (to get the gun warm prior to application and dry the paint after) is your friend as is a lack of wind. This is what it looked like after about 18 months of hard use. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56338680/LF.net/IMG_1254_2.jpg[/IMG] I need to repaint it now due to the number of parts I've replaced while changing some things. I also need to do my AKs. Speaking of AKs and weaponlights... After my recent experience at a shoot house class in Ohio including a lot of night hits on the house I am extremely please with the Surefire FURY lights as available from Bravo Co. 500 lumens with a clickie tailcap for about $125? Hells to the yes. To be perfectly honest after that experience I want [B]MORE[/B] light. Make of that what you will. I have found Haley's Dropwing mount to work exceptionally well in concert with the Ultimak rail. The only issue I've had was with the light walking forward in the mount under recoil but after a wrap of electrical tape around the light that is no longer an issue. Here's how it all sits on my SLR-107UR.
