Guns: MK18 (ish) Project Part 1

in #guns7 years ago

I've decided to do a quick write up on my MK18 inspired SBR build. This build is a long time coming, the main reason I started refinishing firearms was because I wanted a FDE(tan) AR-15. I was quoted $300 for a cerakote FDE paint job, I laughed and said I can do it it cheaper...😂

Sooo three years and several thousands of dollars worth of equipment later, I have my "tan" AR. I went back and forth on what to do, I settle on a two tone desert camo theme.

The colors used were a base coat of Mil-Spec Tan and Annodized FDE, with stencil on top.

Beautiful work and Noveske makes awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. As for Noveske, they use to make really good stuff. Since the founder died they haven't really made anything new, 90% of their products are rebrands. This is a Gen2 lower, best thing they put out in my opinion.

Good to know. My dad used to swear by their stuff. It's too rich for my beer budget. Regardless, really nice job.

And he's not wrong, I'll never get rid of the gen 2 lower. The gun 3, current production, is made of billet. The gen 2 is was made from a forging, which made it stronger. Current stuff is overpriced IMO for sure.
