Buffalo Douglas 16 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I wouldn't want one done up like that, but I can appreciate the work that went into that. It's amazing what they can do with those cerakote finishes. Link to post Share on other sites

Tennessee Trapper Tom 525 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I think someone missed the point of a firearm. Of course it is just an artistic statement. Kinda of like purchasing commerative editions that you never intend to shooting, because shooting them would wear out the art. To each his/ her own. It is america after all.

DocWard 5,899 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 OK, I would own it, especially with the grips Hardpan posted. Maybe others in WWII aircraft camouflage schemes to go with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 29,631 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm kind of partial to it. Doesn't change the outline or the functionality, and gives is a unique look. Of course, I'm looking to put something like this on an AR: Link to post Share on other sites
