cfortune 1 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Anyone know of any olive colored hand guards that will fit the .308 that aren't tapco or kvar (nothing wrong with kvar, just need something with sturdy rails). I really like the SGM quad rail I have on my .223 but I'm hesitant to paint something in the dead of winter (it'll be curing in my garage for months). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't know if there's anything out there like what you're looking for. Maybe the Midwest Industries rail could be modified for the .308 barrel. If you like to live dangerously, and I don't suggest that you try it, I was able to paint mine by prepping the parts indoors and only taking them out to be sprayed at the last minute. I then brought the parts inside and let them dry in a "sealed" bathroom for a few hours until the solvent had evaporated. If I'd had a bathroom fan, I'd have used it during that time. When the parts were done drying I just purged the air from the room by opening a window and sealing the door up behind me for a while. The parts then cured in the basement for a few weeks before re-installation. No smell, no mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
