SLR 8" SBR build done. Just waiting for a few accessories (sling end plate, AAC Blast Shield, Cloud Defensive LCS, and an actual working ScoutLight head) and repairing my BTC Spectre, but otherwise al

Hey all! I kind of stumbled upon this thread by accident while searching for M16A2 receiver markings on google and saw one of Catgut's amazing VT's. Which brought me here I have been working on

One of my latest build, a real Colt M16A1 converted for GBBR on the WA system. Stripped upper, barrel and BCG was changed to Viper Tech du to my local laws. Also a video of how it was made:

Does the burnt bronze have some metallic to it like the finish lwrc uses ?

 

LWRCi has gone through a lot of different finishes on their FDE rifles. Their first batch was more a cross between cerakote FDE and Patriot Brown. It was a nice flat finish. Then they went with an anodized looking finish which was much more like Cerakote Burnt Bronze. Now their finish looks more like Patriot Brown. Definitely not metallic appearance.

In this natural light conditions and without descent artificial lighting I can't do more. Please forgive me, I'm not Stickman.

Sure I can and actually I need that myself, just need some time.

If this can help You, Patriot Brown looks weird only in some artificial lighting, but I think it's common - its daylight outdoor appearance is the best this color can offer.

 

Edit: It's just like Magpul DE - in sunlight it's more yellow, in cloudy day it looks more greenish, but still it's brown to me ;).

Ivan, I wonder if you had any trouble with mounting this FH ?

Because I've got the same, and only outer barrel threading it fits, is main part of Element steel two piece outer barrel.

 

As for Cerakote - not a scratch noted after first game.
