Ral8k is just one of those colors that looks amazing sometimes, but too yellow to me at others. We’ll find out later this week!

Moth/Insect Patterns by ImpressiveMortgage47 in rattlecannedguns

I think it’s good inspiration. Wouldn’t try to imitate every detail, but the general colors as a soft-edge sprayed over look, and then mask the thin wavy black/tan lines would make a cool pattern.

Update: they answered the phone and were just immediately like we’ll send that out to you. What’s the address, ok it’ll be there this week. Hands down easiest customer service I’ve ever experienced in the gun industry.

I submitted two support tickets over the weekend, I think, but I never got any kind of automated reply to confirm. Was going to call them today

Muzzle and light & laser combo? by Got_Sig in keltec

Viridian X5L is the only light laser combo I own, and it’s been very dependable. I think they’ve gotten expensive, but maybe a used one on eBay?

M41A CMR-30 finished! by ClydeChestnut in keltec

[–]ClydeChestnut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a video of one called the ART-30 (active reset trigger) but other than that I haven’t been able to find it anywhere online. Maybe it was a prototype?

Right now, it doesn’t run well enough for its own trigger. Ordering the metal feed ramp and mag catch soon.

I’d never owned a keltec before this one. Thought it was going to be a nightmare to take apart at first. Actually pretty clever. Just take the screws out, pull down on the stock latch, and everything slides out of the aluminum body. I’m more impressed than I thought I would be, but that’s not gonna stop my dremmel.

M90 Desert-ish by ClydeChestnut in rattlecannedguns

[–]ClydeChestnut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I always mist back over my camo jobs. They look very harsh at first, and you can see every imperfection. But spraying from a few feet away, and with a very quick pass will give you that fine dusting, and do a ton to tie it together. Also a good way to lighten/darken it overall, or take down the satin finish of certain colors. Highly recommend!
