Looks great!Just painted the above rifle today. I have to lay down some tan highlights by hazing some tan paint on. I want to break up the hard lines as much as possible. What do you think?
I'm not a big fan of accessorizing the AR with lasers,flashlights,foregrips,and whatnot but to each his own. :smile:
I understand and I appreciate your thoughts. I'm not a big fan of 'accessories' either. What I am concerned about is what works. If it works in the brush, chasing the skinnies, then it's a good thing. My rifle is not a show piece, and it's not a trophy. My rifle is a tool which is used to achieve a goal. It has to work, function, and provide a purpose. It's not about looking good. Some folks use a computer, some folks use a wrench, and some folks carry a rifle.
I agree. Always keep this acronym in mind:K.I.S.S.(Keep It and Simple and Stupid). Some people go out and buy all these fancy accessories for their AR and get their feathers ruffled when they get outshot by a plain jane AR with fixed sights and other otherwise stock parts. It's not the accessories that make the rifle shoot great,it's the shooter.I understand and I appreciate your thoughts. I'm not a big fan of 'accessories' either.

I think that first time shooters should learn to shoot with iron sights so that in the case of a failure of the primary sighting system,you are not up the creek without a paddle.
Looks awesome! Good job!Tan highlights added. I'm pretty happy with the results!
WWII FB Radom
Here is a unique one I have. It is a F.B. Radom. Best I can tell from researching it on the web is that is was made in German occupied France. I could be wrong. It has s/n all over it and they all match. I even have a holster for it with German markings in it. I believe it came back with one of my Uncles. One was in the Pacific theater and the other was in the European theater from the landing on the beaches. Neither will talk about it.
I also have a Springfield 1911.

Bad news folks- The Colt 1860 Civil War/Indian Wars revolver & holster that I posted earlier has been sold
The good news is that the money is going toward the paint and bodywork on my Grand National

Not pictured is 12ga and 16ga Model 12 Winchesters, Winchester Model 62 pump .22.
The Sword is a WWII Japanese Officer Dress Sword my Dad got in WWII.
The gun pictured with the 8mm Mauser is a Russian 7.62 and Army infintraryman took off a dead Russian Soldier and sold it to my Dad for $5. It has the Russian symbol stamped on it and I have the paperwork from the Navy when he brought it back as a war prize.
The pistol in the holster is an Iver Johnson 8 shot revolver target pistol(bought in Cuba in the 60's for $5) in a leather holster Dad made and the knife/holster he made also, on the Navy's dime.

Beautiful Mauser ITSAV6!
I have one as well. It's a blast to shoot(pun intended) but I don't shoot it that often because of the price of ammo. Plus it'll bruise the hell out of your shoulder if you shoot it all day long. I put a Timney trigger and Mojo rear peep sights and they made a world of difference.

It is a German one. The Russian 7.62 hasn't been shot since WWII. It has flip up long range sights too.
It's big brother,they probably know everything you have already,especially if you bought them from dealers and filled out the papers. I don't agree with gun registration but that's the way it will probably be forever. Let's just hope that they never ban sales between individuals.Guys I ain't posting pictures of my guns, then they got proof when they come to take them

It would take one gun and a 'harsh tone' to occupy France.
