K2 metal pin set
pdi 170 spring

As good as this looks in the photo, it's even better in person. Good job!

I saw this beast today and I must say that I was pleased!  Very nice color selection, and very good execution on the MultiCam theme!  Not a spot-on match, but rather inspired by MultiCam.  It blended well with pretty much every type of foliage at BT, and the outline was successfully broken-up.

Very, very nice job David!

By the way, what type of paint did you use?

I wish I could have found the right color of paint to use especially the shades of yellowish green, but the only way I could have gotten them is by using a non-flat paint and then messing with it to flatten it up. But like you said a pattern inspired by multicam and not a copy. I used the Krylon Ultra Flat camoflage paint in the rattle-can colors: brown, green (OD) and khaki.

Thanks! but now that I made an attempt at making a multicam-esk paintjob they are going to be all the rage and someone will inevitably make a better one than I did. I hope that this has inspired some people to think about fun ways to paint their guns and not just go with the "let me throw some diagonal lines of green or tan across my mp5/m4".

Thats something to think about when painting a gun. However, I own mostly AK's now and I dont think they would look very good painted.  8)  However, that is the best looking painted gun I have ever seen. Props out to you again.
