FDE Guns and Accessories

[Stomper]

C'mon.... we ALL know it has EVERYTHING to do with being a cool-guy operator!

 

[RedneckRampage]

for me the FDE is just something different, not necessarily better. In a safe full of black guns...the FDE helps give it a little flavor. it has nothing to do with being an operator or camouflage.

Fair enough.

Go to auto zone and buy the little cans spray paint in various colors and put them in you go bag .

And then your covered, as you travel and go threw the season's.

LMAO

Actually, I keep a few cans of flat black, high temp, BBQ paint around to cover the stainless barrel on my M-1A. Of course I can also paint my old Trager too!

I actually like the FDE and OD AR's, but all mine are black so I guess I don't like them all that much! The only homage I pay to AR individuality is OD pistol grips on mine! No problem with others doing it though!

I like the two toned FDE and black look. That's one of the main reasons I bought the M&P 40 that I have.

Remember back before black guns were black?

I like my HK-91. Even though it's blue compared to my old Belgian FAL.
And the almost charcoal grey finish of the old Colt AR-15's is my favorite look. My DR-200's are grey the old way.

Is the AR receiver extension/stock a factory item on that Daewoo or did you change it out?

The adapter is made by Stormwerkz. It also lets you fold the stock.

I bought a can of DuraCoat in WWII OD, for my Rossi M-92, IN 357... The wood will be Current issue OD, just to make it mine.

It was not bought for SASS, or its a Western Thaaaaaang... I like lever actions as a southpaw. the Rossi had a Lock on the bolt, which strangely enough ~Disappeared~ And it has a Peep sight there now!!!!

If I ever get the issues I am having with my very early Tapco stocked Siminov sorted out I may go 3 color green, brown, black with a rattle can.

It seems like, ever since we went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, there has been a huge rise in popularity of guns and accessories in FDE (flat dark earth) or tan. Anybody else notice this? Personally, I think the color is ugly. I understand it blends in more in the desert, great, if you're in the desert, fighting. Everybody has a right to what they like, and I'm not saying you shouldn't paint your guns tan, but I would like to know why so many do? If we were fighting in the woods somewhere, would OD be the big thing?

Just wondering...

I shoot a lot in the Dalles or other sunny places. Blacks guns get super hot and burn you. My fde ones stay cooler.

I had never noticed that. I do shoot in the shade mostly. Well now I'll have to build a Sun Gun.

Just cobble together some sort of mini-umbrella for it to act as a sun shade...

I thoroughly enjoy my FNP-45 w/suppressor (just need to get the suppressor coated in an FDE pattern).

I had one in the color before it was "cool". Back when you couldn't find the color anywhere.

Flopsweat! I think I have a mount for that rig from my granddaughter's rifle!

First thing I thought when I looked at that handle - I'll bet you could epoxy a picatinny mount on that...
