Finaly has arrived:   WE M14 GBB in FPG stock (folding stock and grip are from Beretta BM59, modified to fit M14 stock). If my info is correct such M14 version was used by SEALs in 90s.   Sent

I've just carried ageing and weathering work on my TM M14 fitted with a ProArms wood stock. Although it looked good, it just looked too new and perfect for my taste so I carried out a little work somewhat in line with Guiness's weathering guide.

Alright, so now I'm curious.

I've been looking into painting my m14, and run into a dilemma. Do I leave the gun complete and paint it or do I take the upper from the stock and paint only the stock? I want to get a dirty tan look (if that makes any sense), but I'm not quite sure as to how I should go about doing it. I read the OpTactical how-to, which took the gun apart and painted the upper and lower separate, but do I really need to do all that?

 

Thanks,

Spoon Man

I've never been a fan of painting the metal parts on M14 stocks and handguards so I've always taken them off (except the C clip that holds the heatshield to the barrel) I prefer the sleek look of black on greens and browns but thats a personal preference.

 

Picture of my baby finally!

Wow Tarnish, that looks great!

 

You've really aged it well.

 

Cheers Tom,

 

It has come out quite well, it's got that battle worn look to it now. If the wood work had been a darker shade to start with I would have probably left it but it was really quite pale. The varnish that was on it was really good stuff and took a lot of rubbing down to gbet the the wood beneath. The other plus is it now smells of linseed oil too which for reasons unknown I really like.

such a beautiful gun

 

BigAl, i was looking at that gun and saying to myself, "Self, that looks pretty freakin sweet...but on the other had Self, if that were real steel....that would be like shooting a .50BMG 1911....but it sure looks cool!" and then i went to bed with myself, and slept with, myself, and when i woke up.i made myself a cup of english breakfast tea.to enjoy with my delicious oatmeal.
