The Official Armalite Thread V1 (all styles welcome!)

I say throw a blackwash or something on the body. Or maybe just spray it with Krylon matte clear.

defeats the purpose if it's shiny.

[lilyang]

I rarely use the eotech actually as I like the iron sights for cqb day games so didn't feel the need to spray it

and Geist, it really isn't shiny it was just bright that day haha, the gun is actually just the dark earth PTS so it is a little darker than most tans

Just bought this as a loaner for OP mountain Viper. Nothing special just a G&G GR16 with some XTMs, an Trijicon style Red/Green Dot, Stubby vert grip and a QD suppressor. Something to be said for this model though, is that it is dead silent with the pneumatic air system deactivated and the suppressor on. Very very quiet.

Also another KWA Mark III PTP with Rubberized OD Grips and a cool little Cold Steel training knife.

Only like, 3 or 4 pieces to the puzzle left!!!

[Fubar]

around where are you located vainguard? Cuz I put about 1100 bucks into a WA build but I cant seem to justify running it as a primary with the weather in my neck of the woods (Washington State).

[The Vainguard]

I build it from the ground up... Im around 3k..

I skirmished it in 100+ degreee weather on Sunday

[lazyshark]

Lol 3k just buy a car already geez

[GeistACWM]

I know!

Put a 3k optic made entirely out of cubic zerconium on it and you'll be the envy of us all.

I could build the RS equivalent for cheaper!


Nice looking rifle though, no denying that.

Build list with numbers or GTFO!!

-_- Thanks guys. Theres a reason I didn't put how much it cost me until someone asked. Plus its not like I spent 3k all at once, I've been working on this since April..
