[Multi Gun Picture Thread]

The parts I ordered from CSS came in and I put my new S-12 together I put the PK-01 tube style red dot on my gun as far back as comfortable. about 3 inch eye relief. I need chokes for it yet I'm going to make another order with CSS soon.

 

Doing some mixing and matching:

 

 

S-12 with magazine well and optic

 

 

AR-15 new configuration this gun is a mutt but I made it the way I want it.

 

 

This was the set up I was going to roll with this year but I decided to go with the new Saiga and move the magazine well off this gun so that I could use it on the new Saiga.

[camo'd my S-12]

Did one of my AR's too.

 

Looks great!

 

I've been thinking about doing my Saiga and thought of an interesting concept. I'm not sure if this is a new idea but I was thinking of urban camo. I know standard black is bad because in a combat situation the brain is tuned to recognize the silhouette of a rifle. I understand that normal camo tries to blend in with the background where operations will take place. Usually designers use the environment, the season, the greying effect of distance and now take advantage of pixelation to blend edges into the backround of digital screens.

 

So here's my concept...

 

How about a rusted, pitted out, flaked, bubbled, stalactited aged patina that make the rifle look like it wouldn't even be useful as scrap metal. Most camo jobs on a rifles looks kinda cool but not really as cool as a pristine brand new dark gray metal gun. In operations requiring stealth, traditional camo or a gille rifle wrap is best but traditional camo is necessary for only a few hours out of the useful life of a rifle. My idea applies to the remaining life of the rifle, armageddon scenarios and zombie wars. I think the rusted out look is repulsive enough that others would not want to steal it or kill you for it. Most people would ignore it if it was sitting in an open safe, leaning in the corner of your cabin, racked up in your truck or even laying on the ground by your corpse. Its a deception. The rifle would be in perfect working order and the rust camo is simply a textured finish that also preserves the gun.

 

I would love to see this done and I'll bet it would get more attention at the range then a bad ass gun did out of the box. This is the effect of context though. If it was the end of the world or someone just saw it lying around in your garage, they would still dismiss it as junk. Deception complete. I think instead of Urban camo, I'll call it... Cognitive Camo (CC) or better yet... Junk Yard Camo (JYC).

 

Anyway, I think it is a good idea and it can always be sand blasted down again. Here is a rust picture to use for inspiration...
