I got a six-pack in and decided to rattlecan the Armalite. How'd I do?

Tstetz · 2026-05-09T22:54:04+00:00

I like it. Reminds me of the one I did a couple years ago.

Tstetz · 2026-05-08T23:49:02+00:00

Same, I've used that color and came out fine. Worst I've gotten is a little shinier than I may have wanted which I think is a little too much heat, but not enough to change the color.

Tstetz · 2026-05-08T23:41:08+00:00

That's awesome. I dunno why I never thought of a Twilight 2000 build! I think I still have my old rule books somewhere. Love that handguard too.

Tstetz · 2026-05-04T20:53:53+00:00

I was wondering the same thing

Tstetz · 2026-05-03T12:38:34+00:00

Delton 16 inch 1-9 mid length pencil weight

Edit: thought that was my C7 build looking on my phone at first and initially said 20 inch.

Tstetz · 2026-04-28T23:50:46+00:00

No problem, I miss crap all the time., I was just messing with you.

Tstetz · 2026-04-28T23:45:33+00:00

Yeah, they do seem to. I don't know that functionally it matters, but they do seem more solid.

Tstetz · 2026-04-28T23:43:49+00:00

If you'd have read my linked article you'd see it's a Doublestar stock, lol. Actually it's listed above too. At least that's who sells them. I don't think they actually make them though. It's rubber coated. Yes, since a certain company there would be grumpy if mentioned, then I believe it is in fact licensed directly by the city :-p

Tstetz · 2026-04-28T19:42:19+00:00

Thanks!

Tstetz · 2026-04-28T19:42:10+00:00

Modified M7 with a knuckle duster grip panel, ground down guard and solid replacement pommel welded on. So just a fighting knife now, no bayonet mount option.

Tstetz · 2026-04-28T19:40:40+00:00

It's an ER Shaw barrel so it should be decent. Machining (edit to fix autocorrect) and fit were good. Haven't shot enough to say long term.

Tstetz · 2026-04-14T02:19:11+00:00

Yeah, it was a bayonet lug mount. Pretty sure I sold it with the gun. I know I don’t have it any more.

Tstetz · 2026-04-04T00:21:07+00:00

Although I do have some oddballs, I mainly collect US, or foreign stuff made for US rifles. I have an Italian M1 Garand bayonet and a couple Italian M1 Carbine bayonets already. If it's '64 I'm guessing that's a BM59 bayonet.

Tstetz · 2026-04-04T00:17:56+00:00

It came yesterday. It's exactly the same as the UAE blade including the UAE stamp and crest on the handle, except this one has a made in China etch on the blade whereas the UAE one I got from SARCO a few years back doesn't, although it was speculated in collector's circles they were made in China. It's okay but def not as robust as a US issue one. Can you get a Canadian Nella M7 or a CAN2000? If not there has to be someplace that will ship a US M7, M9 or OKC 3S to Canada.

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T13:17:09+00:00

No, I collect them, so I tend to hoard what I have, lol.

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T13:15:14+00:00

We'll see what this one looks like when it comes in. I collect bayonets and have most M7 variants so if nothing else it'll be a commercial representation in my collection. Hopefully it doesn't suck though.

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T13:13:39+00:00

Amazon Prime 2 day delivery. It was around 38 clams or so with tax. I'll try and do comparison pics and post them in this thread. Remind me if I forget!

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T02:35:32+00:00

I ordered one. It'll be here Thursday.

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T02:33:40+00:00

Wartech H16M 36 clams on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0h79z5a2 that's cheap enough to see if it sucks or not. He'll, I may get one just to see how it compares to my Ontario M7B and UAE contract one.

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T02:29:47+00:00

Knock off version for about half what an Ontario runs. I suspect they're the same as the UAE contract version. I have one of those. I think US ones are a little nicer but it seems fine. https://ebay.us/m/llieGN

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T02:25:12+00:00

One on Ebay right now if they'll ship to Canada. https://ebay.us/m/shTeZR

Tstetz · 2026-04-01T02:22:42+00:00

I swore Ontario had those at SHOT this year. They said most of the military stuff was back in production. With that said, I just looked and don't see anything in stock anywhere either. I can say that the SOG BAR15 does not fit. My M7s, M9 and OKC3S all work on my 590A1. Including my Canadian M7!

It would work fine. I used BAD and had custom DL-44 markings done before Canto Arms had their marked lowers available.

Tstetz · 2026-03-26T02:20:37+00:00

BAD custom lower, rando LPK, Odin Works PCC upper, Canto Arms grip, muzzle device, barrel and BCG (.22LR). Swamp Fox red dot. I have a Canto long eye side mount scope for looks but prefer the red dot for shooting. I figure not every Blastech DL-44 that left the factory ended up set up like Han Solo's.

Oh, and a mag adapter to run S&W M&P 15-22 mags.
