...figured I'd add a couple new additions to the family today. This will hold me over several months or until wife shoots me. Whichever comes first.

 

Added my 4th H&K... The HK45... and a new AR.... The LWRCI M6A2 5.56... Now I'm tapped out for awhile. Bushy on top just for kicks. You can figure the rest.

 

Now that that's done, I may have a half build for sale that I don't feel like finishing.

whats up with the half build, send me a PM

Nice additions to a collection

 

How did you manage the color fill on the BM ?

Have tried several times and can't it right ,I end up with residue that won't come off without pulling the fill out or incomplete fill on the little gun.

Nice additions. Really thinking about a hk45. Good luck with it.

Very nice

Con, that was done with a silver inlay crayon. The way it always works for me is at least two coats. Clean the surface good with acetone and heat the area with a little solder torch to burn off any residue. When ready, heat the crayon tip to soften it a bit and heat the surface a little again. While everything is warm, press just enough to get color into lines. Some are fine and won't go in first hit. That's ok. Take a cotton cloth with a little acetone and with your finger, lightly, and I emphasize LIGHTLY, drift your finger over the whole area to remove excess color. If you push too hard, it will remove all shallow areas. it only takes very light rubs. Let dry. Do same thing all over again till you get it right. Depending on fine engraving areas, it may be near impossible. If so, just take your time and work with it. Use a toothpick to help. Eventually it will look good. Once one, wipe down with G96 or silicon and it pretty much locks in. Keep in mind, if you get rough with cleaning solutions, it may come off after time. Just don't use brushes to heavily scrub colored areas. Good luck. OR cheat and use nail polish.

Luv my HKs....

 

That completes my pistol collection for now. Have the USP Compact 45, (last carry), then USP 40, recently, the P30S 9mm.... Love the 30 so much, figured I'd love the HK45 as much beings it's almost the same config.

Wow, that's more detail than I got from the YT video's , thanks

Is the silver inlay crayon something special ?

I tried with a regular crayon, and nail polish

Thanks.... If they had it in stock, I would have prob got it. Shame i gets pinned down. May change stock out. I would have rather it be pinned in closer. Need a tad closer for the Acogs.

make sure to use non acetone remover, anything else is hard on the finish

Not really necessary. You don't use a lot and only wipe lightly. It evaps quick. Done it many times. Use nail polish remover if squeamish....
