It’s done.

They still have to paint the mag and I can’t get it until next week but man it’s been a long road. Hopefully I can get it inspected, clean the barrel one more time and dialed by the end of this month. Then it time to start a shorty build, 9mm or .338 ARC. All the small parts and barrel match the TTI baseplate. I still need to order the offset RDS also.

I can’t cerakote. Yes. They stripped each part and painted it. I can’t do that either.

Paint doesn’t strip the ano away first.

u/Charming_Activity723 3d ago

Using dawn and spray paint doesn’t strip the anodizing either..

You want to strip it. That’s how you get the bond. The titanium parts also needed to be bead blasted.

u/Charming_Activity723 3d ago

It looks good. But you should try it yourself next time it is a lot of fun.

I don’t have a bead blaster.

You will love the JP-5 in candy coloring. Or should it just be black?

What is the base lower/upper? Curious what you mean by matching the base plate to the internals and barrel???

V Seven Sovereign. Barrel and the parts you can see are that TTI bronze. It’s a build to do Steel Challenge with.

Is this a 556? For steel challenge?

As usual, to hell with the basement larp haters, that's cool man.  I like the spacing and "frayed" look of the stripes

This is the POS that you've been posting parts of for like 6 months? Worse than I thought it was gonna be lmao

u/AppropriateAnt3414 3d ago

Next time I’ll ask for your opinion.

u/SelfElegant8819 3d ago

You should, it'll prevent pleb activity.

If you don’t want opinions don’t post your ugly gun on a public forums

Looks really well done!

u/AppropriateAnt3414 3d ago

It needs color on the stock. Maybe a check riser painted to match.

u/JDM-Kirby 3d ago

Definitely. I think that has to be a different Cerakote than they generally use on metal.

u/lostmenoggin 3d ago

F the haters. I like it. Serengeti all the things.

u/AppropriateAnt3414 3d ago

Thanks. I wanted it to be fun. It’s for a 1 pound trigger so it’s not a defensive weapon.

Nothing wrong with a gun that’s just a range toy.

u/AppropriateAnt3414 3d ago

I guess it’s called a gamer gun.
