Thank you that’s really helpful! I’ll give it a go and see where I get

Awesome thank you. I don’t care to be dead accurate with it.... I’m not that into recreations but a similar look would be good ?? BHD is one of my fav movies and thought it’d be cool to rock an old school version, bit of a change from all the keymod and MLok stuff people are using

Has anybody ever recreated the “Gordon Rifle” CAR-15 from Black Hawk Down? I really like the look and wanted to give it a go. Seems simple enough but wondered if there were any examples knocking about ?

Looks awesome ?? You’ve got the weathered look spot on

A present from the other half ?

Definitely the dirty operator look!..... I may have to resort to a stick on joke shop beard however ?

Not so much a good example just more of a basic guide...... rest assured the can was over 15cms away from the gun...... I haven’t got a paint studio so the garden and a clothes line did me fine haha

Thank you. Yeah I used the t-Rex arms video as a guide and also Garrand Thumbs design for the paint job. Really easy to do, spray it in alternating stripes of tan and brown, then lay some mesh over the top and spray the tan part with brown and the brown part with tan and voila! Snake skin type pattern

I painted my MWS a couple of months ago. I separated the upper and lower and then taped off the gaps on the inside, closed the dust cover, taped off the trigger and the end of the charging handle to prevent any paint/spray getting in the inside of the gun, then put the two pieces back together. I too kept the inner barrel in and just taped off the muzzle device which worked. Just tape off anywhere you think it’ll get into the inner workings of the gun. Hope that helps!

Does anyone know whether real steel dust covers fit the MWS? I’m looking at replacing the stock one for an engraved type design Thanks!

Thanks bud, will have a look at the video. I am not massively technical so if he says you can’t then I won’t be trying it, not with the price and shortage of mags at the moment haha

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned in the previous posts but has anybody had any luck fitting those ranger style plates to the bottom of the MWS mags? They look like they would fit but would cover up the fill valve

Thanks chaps, I’d sprayed an old AEG before but not something as expensive or that I liked as much as my MWS so was apprehensive. I agree though they definitely look better sprayed!

Took the plunge and sprayed my TM MWS. Very happy with the result. A kind of brown/tan snake skin effect! ?

Yes that’s the one modify tan coloured bucking. That’s the one I’ve got having been recommended it on this thread ??
