Ok, so I've decided to build myself an E-11 to go along with my snowie
I have the doopydoos pipe kit and I have used the templates that zeroroom made.
Template attached, started drilling holes.
finished barrel
The black marker you see around the exhaust vent is where I have had to rebuild the pipe with epoxy putty, as I had cut the hole too big.
While I was waiting for my bits and pieces from doopydoos to arrive I experimented with paint.
I like the hammered finish as it gives a good texture, however the colour was too metallic for my liking. So, I sprayed some gloss black over the top of the hammered black and it turned out exactly how I wanted.
Here are some comparison photos I have taken
Under a fluorescent light (indoors)
In direct sunlight to show the the texture of the paint.
In direct sunlight to show the colour difference.
I have t-tracks from marv on FISD, they are awesome quality
I also am waiting on a bronze M19 from TK4702 on FISD
Tonight I have painted the main section of the reciever, with grip and mag attached. Stay tuned as I have something a little different and special planned for the rest of the pieces (folding stock, trigger, etc...)
Kit layed out
The bolt had to be sanded down A LOT before it would fit inside my pipe. I used a piece of thin plastic to extend the bolt to a more accurate size.
Painted bolt
Painted main body and endcap. Just the hammered black for now, will spray the gloss black on later.
