Paint it? Coat it? Shoot it?

[ray1970]

Just shoot it. If anything I think the stock not matching is worse than the hand guard.

Do you mean the stock being a slightly different shade of tan? Or the stock not being black? In person, the stock is so close to the same color as the receivers you can hardly tell a difference.

The stock being a just a bit of a different shade triggers my OCD.

So, do I go with a black stock? The VLTOR is my preferred stock so the only way to get it to match the receivers would be to paint it or have it cerakoted.

Unless you plan to keep it forever PLEASE DO NOT RATTLE CAN IT. I have seen some really nice items in the TP. decent pricing. BUT once i see that spray paint shit , i don't even bother. I picked up a rattle can AR ONCE. Sure the paint comes off easy, IF YOU PAINT over it. Spray paint don't come off nothing easy. plus it makes it harder to sell.

Completely agree. I bought an aimpoint for a great price one time, it had been rattle canned, what a PITA to strip down! Never again.

Good point. I have been known to get bored with things and sell them.

Donate it and write it off on your taxes.

I would chose # 2 plus post option #12

The upper and lower are nicely coated, might as well match the Samson Evolution rail with it. If you sell it many will like the pro colored rail.

Also with black grip and mags I would get a black stock.

Three options.

What Bert said.

Opt #1 from above.

Wasting time fussing over it. Shoot it.

Option 4 - hand it down to me.

Seriously though, run it and see if you will enjoy it. If it's something you consider a forever gun drop some coin and make it look like you want it to.

As is and shoot it. Like old two tone paint job.

You once sent me a set of middy handguards when I had a need out of the kindness of your heart. I have a near-mint black I-mod on one of my rifles that I never use. I prefer the clubfoot. If you want to complete the two-tone look, PM me your address, and I will send it to you on Thursday.
