Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I've been there, already done something really close to that... Wanted to go a different route... If I don't do the slide in the TiN, I'm doing it in my original idea of Burnt Bronze, with a TiN coated barrel. I think I'll do the weight in Burnt Bronze also.Originally Posted by ray1970

A buddy of mine had a "race gun" years ago (an STI if I remember correctly) and he had the slide done in some sort of midnight blue finish and had some realistic lightning airbrushed on it. It was pretty sweet.
Different. A little too flashy for my taste though.
My determination to not strike the first blow, but also to not stand mute and allow myself, and all that I believe in and stand for, to be trampled by men who would deprive me of my God-given, or natural right to suit my own end.
That would be cool as HELL!!With the coating, it would shoot the exact same. Nothing different in the handling. When I was cutting into my stainless with my 1/4 carbide with a TiN coating, I wondered how a firearm would do with the same treatment. I have used the same drill bit for four Hk's, and three Glocks, oh, and a couple 1911's. I finally got some wear on it with the stainless that I could visibly see. You gota figure, thousands of revolutions per minute, cutting into treated steels, and it held up like a champ... I don't think a gun is going to do much to the finish. I will see though.I'm halfway thinking about doing an AR like that...... Halfway...
KEEP YOUR BRANCH OFF THE TRIGGER!

I unload my guns before the pictures.

It needs the mag floorplate done too.
I don't think you got the color quite right, but I think it would look cool. If it was paint, I'd say too much, but knowing what the coating is, I think it'd be awesome.

Ya, I tried but the color was still a little off.... It isn't quite so, bright yellow, but more of a golden brown.

Either way. I always look forward to your projects. You do great work.
