Can you dig the paper-towel tube can???

 

[mrsmitty]

Looks Great Klunk. I remember that rifle shoots pretty good and now its looks as good as it shoots.

Nice,
Vincent Van Gogh could not have done better !

 

[spacesaver]

I thought the can was real!! Awesome job. Care to give some details on how you acheived the neat effect?(The paint, not the can!!)

 

[DaveMachine]

What kind of barrel, rail, and gasblock is that?

Details please.

I wanna know how to make a can from a paper towel tube.

Interesting, but from a distance it's still going to look like a dark AR silhouette.

I dunno Red, it looks pretty effective on the internet and I've got a flat screen with high speed...

 

[Ellison]

Beautiful paint job love the colour scheme
wouldn't mine knowing the details as well

A paper tube for a can!

I'm pretty divided on that. One part of me insists that you post the video when you fire it off.
Another part of me blames you for getting two ply toilet paper banned as being prohibited in Canada.

 

[MagnumPeanut]

Why type of paint did you use?

 

[Krunch]

Love the rifle. The can is "pure artistry"

 

[Artiz]

What kind of barrel, rail, and gasblock is that?

Details please.

The gas block is a shaved down standard FSB.

 

[pitdogboy]

Glorious....

 

[jasonn]

im gonna need the paper towel can details.
Nice job by the way.

 

[Klunk]

uhhh...

the paint is all krylon cammy...

dark green and dark brown were sprayed in a cross-hatch pattern

the tan 'spots' were achieved by using a peice of paper with random holes cut in it......lay paper over gun and spray (gently) through the holes

the can is actually shipping tube (for mailing posters n stuff)...it was easy to poke the FH through the plastic end cap...painting the can was what started the whole project

 

[voere270]

Nice paint job.

Can't wait to see the follow up to this one!

 

[Scocou]

Looks neat, what theater/ field would that pattern be used in? Cheers
