Never ending project. Just swapped the stock, installed Gisselle SSA-E trigger and lightened her up a bit with a new rail, swapped the Eotech for aim point, Troy irons, BCM upper and BCG, Battle comp 1.5 and spikes lower.

If you are shooting a lot of standing/kneeling position and/or "CQB" type stuff with stock shortened and the rifle in closer to your body, the more vertical angle of the BCM Gunfighter grip is waaaaay less fatiguing than an A2 or MOE. The angle of the BCM grip mimics the natural position of your wrist and doesn't force it into a weird wrist-rolled-forward position that makes you want to chicken-wing your elbow when the stock is short.

 

If you are shooting a lot of prone, or if you always run the rifle with an A2 stock or fully extended carbine stock, you are probably better served with the MOE.

Eloquently said, HE. I love the BCM (Mod 0 for me, please) on my carbines, but didn't care for it on my A4. Swapped that one back to the A2 grip.

Looks great ! What pistol grip is that ?

It's a Wilson combat which is a BCM with their logo in it. Gus modified it with stippling. Here's the original.

This has FDE, coyote brown, desert tan, believe it or not there is foliage green in the mixture.  

 

If you are looking to replicate your pitbull burnt bronze may work.  I have another Wilson Combat in burnt bronze I can take of photo of for you or of course you are welcome to come look at it person to see if the color is what you want.

I had cerakote send me the swatches to check out and I ordered burnt bronze multi regional earth and black graphite. They seemed to match up the best. But once you start to delayer, the colors blend together unless you completely remove the coat on top. So it's interesting to know what colors were used with the "weathered" style pattern.

 

My idea was to base coat with burnt bronze, and then do a dusting of MRE, and finally do the brindle black stripes. I would be doing the weathering between coats to simulate the fur.

Wooops.  Sorry for the gigantic pic.  Just opened an imgur account and trying to figure out how to reduce pix sizes!

I think that did it.  Build is PSA Stainless Freedom "everything but the lower" kit.  I added their enhanced trigger, which is every bit as good as the ALG ACT at $40 less, an Ergo grip and a Troy Medieval Brake.  Then I rattle canned it w. Rustoleum Camo paint and a sea sponge.

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
