And here is the final product... Delton Middy upper, YHM flip up gas block and flip up rear. MAGPUL MOE furniture.
I plan to swap out a few pieces- but everything will either stay on this rifle or go into a pistol build I am collecting parts for- God bless the modular platform.
I did not thin the paint. I used toothpicks as "paintbrushes" and by tracing the grooves, I got decent coverage. I did two coats on the FDE that I mixed up. I didn't want to have to try to match it at a later date.
I would like to know the exact steps you did because I am ordering a spikes lower to build and thought about this and didn't know how to approach it. Thanks in advance!
