nlacy 692 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 So I've tinkered with, put together, modified some guns. I was thinking about painting something on them like an animal or cool phrase. Top choices: "Bring the Ruckus" Stencil of a dragon Anyone else done this already? (pics please) Is this cool or douchey? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zenman223 460 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I put a Gadsden flag sticker on my AR, I like it. I dont know if Id say its cool but its NOT DOUCHEY!!! I like customizing my stuff and making it my own. If I had the money or ability to paint or engrave my guns I probably would. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I really love the AR dust cover that says: And any quote from Team America can't be douchy! Edited October 25, 2012 by BuffetDestroyer 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nlacy 692 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I was thinking I could do my mags too. I was at an ar course a couple of weeks ago and everyone had black p-mags so it would be a nice way to recognize my stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zenman223 460 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 He's always the party pooper anyway. Whats really douchey to me is hanging every treaking thing you can think of off your rifle just b/c it has rails! I think that dust cover is funny as hell!! Not sure I'd put it on my AR but its pretty awesome! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Not "douchey," but tacky, yes. Anothing much other than manufacturer, importer, caliber, and serial info, I don't want it on a gun. Manufacturer logos get a pass, but some manufacturers are known for their "provocative" logos these days. Edited October 26, 2012 by mancat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lone Eagle 839 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm ordering a custom dust cover for my AR. When closed, it says, "Molon Labe" with the Spartan helmet. When it flips open......... "You're Fucked!!!" My oldest wants me to have "Travel Agent for Allah" engraved on my Saiga. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I believe the Douchery depends on the person. If you are NOT a douche, just do what you like. It is your rifle, be happy. Just try not to do a cheesy job. It all comes down to execution. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyDingDongs 158 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I know it's been done before (a lot) but I'm a big fan of the biohazard symbol. I picked up these takedown pins because it's a little more unique than OEM, but not over-the-top. I think as long as you keep it pretty simple, it's nice to have your own little touch (even if it's someone else's work.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
filthygovemploye 64 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 i second the "if you are a douche, its douchey" concept...i have a cz 75 that i colored in hte "made in czechoslovakia" with red, and i had a buddy that says his granpappy took a p38 off a german that had him saluting swastika on one side and family on the other. under the grips, that is, clear grips...so i like non permanent mods bascially...

DrThunder88 912 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 That'ssss a very nice idea you have there... Whatever kind of artwork you go for, make sure it's classy and kind of subdued. I'm sure those Serbs or Croats that put Beverly Hills 90210 stickers on their rifle stocks are kind of regretted it. Some sort of interlace art like Celtic knots would be cool, I think. If it were me, any writing would be in Latin or some runic language. Why? Partly because I'm pretentious but also because they, the runes especially, would be reminiscent of the inscriptions borne by swords in The Lord of the Rings. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KennyFSU 249 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) My Spike's AR has a Calico Jack roll mark/color fill lol. If I had a choice I probably would have gotten one without but this was the last one my LGS had in stock and I'm very impatient.

BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 So much of what we do to our weapons is more cosmetic than functional. Converting to "traditional" AKM looks on Saigas with wood and conventional handguards is a perfect example - the Saiga handguard is longer and totally functional, but it looks like a Saiga and not a traditional AKM. This is the same reason why $90 Chinese optics are made to look like ACOG's and why we have designer fucking colors like "Urban Dark Earth" and other "tactical" sounding shit. It's because guns are Barbie dolls for many, many grown men. I am totally guilty of this. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and shit that one person thinks is cool, another person thinks is douchy. Anyone else done this already? (pics please) Is this cool or douchey? What flavor of douche? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Odd Man Out 1,283 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) I try to keep my tools as plain as possible for two reasons; 1. When I was working, the rule of the day was to be "the grey man" -- to not be noticed. Now that I'm retired I find it is hard to lose the old habits. 2. If I have to use any in a defensive sit, I don't want a prosecuting attorney using it to paint me as being something I'm not.
