Amateur gun refinishing

Yeah, I got a bug in my butt the other day. I never quite liked the OD green of the Magpul stuff vs the OD green of the Armalite stock. All the pictures of the spray painted rifles gave me a solution to my problem. So, first, the before:

The aftermath:

With FDE, Black, and OD PMags for comparison. Paint still isn't dry. And I think the pistol grip needs a little brown added to it on the right side. Didn't do the carry handle, at least not yet.

Now, the handguard was kinda fun. Can't just paint a rifle, you have to make it your own:

Yes, I totally went there. Hacked some flame shapes into a plastic sheet (all 6 are different) and spritzed some dayglo orange in there. Then shot some khaki/brown over that to dull it down. The camera flash really makes it pop. I know, the flames should be on the top vents. How in the hell are you supposed to see them from the sides if you do it that way? ;)

And, just because:

From Simpsons wikia.

Bored, made some photochops

Stuck on call, can't do anything cool, so I did some fail responses based on google image searches.

We are not animals

Do it right

Odd search terms

Yeah, I get one or two odd searches now and again. Guess I could whore it up by posting about the Walking Dead being awesome (Instead of facepalm city) or about the fact that Sofia Vergara is the only name actress that will get me to pay attention to a television commercial. Or watch SNL. Hope The Dark Knight Rises doesn't suck- with three quarters of the cast of Inception, it should be great. Of course, I'll be attending with an eye for the parts of Pittsburgh I've been to, like the Warhol museum, Stadiums, Pitt, The Duquense Incline, other places. What else can I toss in to get odd searches?

 Still getting Chiappa Rhino Total Recall searches too.

Supreme watch deux

Maybe today the Supreme Court will announce decisions on O-care and SB1070.  Or not. Drama queens.

Don't know why 'we' would get penis-y, er cocky(Family Guy). I figure whatever the most incompetent solution to either law is will occur. The mandate getting severed while the rest is upheld. Or states being told to officially butt out of all immigration law. I could see the former(and laugh), the latter might be interesting (bad interesting). Of course, if states could not make immigration laws, can they make gun laws? But I am no lawyer.

Aliens- the new zombies?

Found on the ocean floor. Or just a big round rock. Where is my phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range when I need it.

Let me get this straight

Pot is going to be legal in NYC? I mean, not 100% legal, but for personal use, they will just whistle and look around if you are found to have some on you. Guess that does line up perfectly with mayor for life Bloomberg's portion plans.

Why don't they apply this logic to firearms? My M&P 9c only carries 47* rounds between the short and 2 fullsize backup mags. Why, that's not even a full box. Most NYC police shootings use 2x that amount on unarmed guys, let alone actual criminals. I hold that people carrying under a full box of ammo should just be allowed on their way in NYC too. My gun is legal, not one of those 'illegals' that get Bloomberg so worked up.

*I forgot, the portion size ban in NY also applies to self defense. So it would only be 31 rounds. Why, that is only a few more than those little sample size boxes they sell in the stores (seriously ammo makers, 20 rounds is a joke. That barely fills one mag these days)
