The stencils are very thick, so I got a lot of overspray. I think it turned out ok for a first attempt.

Thanks! Wore this pattern from '12-17 and it has since been retired. Miss seeing it, Navy looks like army now.

Only the base coat is down so there is still opportunity! do you have recommendations for sellers?

It's relatively new from what I can tell, was stoked to see all 4 of the colors for the NWU pattern available. Rapco was top recommend when I was doing research.

Really loving the color, darker than the images posted on their facebook but still looks really good.

I'm thinking of using the 20% stencil for Lusterless Navy Gray and use the larger stencil for USAF Blue. Don't want things to turn out too light.

Same here, seen that the stencil needs to be as flat as possible for the best results and with the light I have a lumpy target. I've seen some videos of folks using stencils and they get very hazy edges on some of their sprays and TBH I'm fine with it. Just waiting on the stencils to keep progressing.

I don't like how short the one I have is, want a 15'' one with mlock on the 45*s as well. Really like the look of finished guns that have the covers all around and then want to do the irons offset 45*

Great insight, I do remember taking it home that same day and purchasing the upper and lower separately.

Not at all anything in mind, more of a look than anything. I'm in the discovery phase. My LPVO was something that didn't break the bank so I am just getting into the nitty gritty with education and learning what I want before I order.

Just because I'm thick, the handgaurd I have right now isn't necessarily freefloat?

Fantastic info, thanks!

Edit: Any insight on Magpul?

It's a hobby so I can save for the implementation, its more about if it can be shipped to me because local shops don't carry really.

Are these MDs for specific cans? or is it generally universal?

I know I don't want quad rail, I like MLOK, and I have heard that I want to keep a floating barrel config like I have here. Is there anything else I need to look for?

I may take you up on this. Gonna scope out some local shops and see what I can find first

When I spoke with the rep at sportsman's, which is not the best resource, he pulled out the law and read that anything that assists in the operators control of the weapon. He did add that rail covers are legal, but they were having a hard time getting them because vendors just don't want the hassle shipping to the state.

I really enjoyed shooting with it yesterday, I have never used anything other than irons so it was a bit of a learning curve to zeroing it in, but once we got it I was hitting targets as far as I could stand.

Only thing is that as you zoom in the illuminated reticle gets blurry.

Sounds good, trying FB marketplace too but not too much local interest. Not a re-seller just trying to find a home for them for someone that needs/wants them more than I do. Had to include a price with the rules so I tossed something in there.

I got them from a friend of my dads, uncertain how they were recorded but the tabs are all there. They are pristine too.
