that looks pretty ,it is stripped to bare metal right ? not still in the clear phosphate is it ?
are you bluing before test firing ? i only ask because i see you missing some rail rivets.

:ot:
are you Jared and why do you love hookers ?

Its amazing anything works right around here with a bunch of
over-age juvenile delinquents running the place.

How did you get it down to the bare metal even on the inside?

First I Bead blast the whole gun before I weld it. After cleaning up the welds I sand the gun to a 300 finish then I buff it. This is because it's an early gun J.T 277a AR. If it was older I'd just bead blast it and park it.



And No I'm not Jared. I'm 26 and it's just a long standing inside joke about one of my college roomates. It's just a long story

Don't believe him he loves hookers too. When we went to Orlando for the Shot Show, he had three of them in the room. Man, what a night I can't remember. :mrgreen:
