Feeler: Stippled Handguards & KAC Panels

[Josh S.]

I thought I'd throw out a feeler ad before I buy any parts. I have a line on (10) M4 handguards w/ heat shields and (15) KAC 11 rib panels that I'd be willing to stipple and sell. Everything is black and brand new. Considering the prep work and time involved, prices would be $12/panel and $35/handguard. Just let me know if you're interested.

Josh I vaguely recall you doing some work on KAC panels. Didn't you post pictures before?

I'm not sure to be honest. I currently have about 5 or 6 stippled KAC panels that I'll try to get pictures of tonight.

I also went ahead and bought the handguards and will be stippling them regardless over the next couple weeks.

Edit: I think I found the picture you were thinking of.

Here's some pictures of a few KAC panels I've done displaying ribbed vs. de-ribbed, coarse vs. fine, etc... Personally I prefer de-ribbed with a fine texture. They look and feel great, especially when paired with stippled Magpul XTM panels.

Start your Audible free trial and get yourself a free audiobook to pass the time! Those look perfect for experimenting with new patterns.

Never heard of Audible until now but I'll definitely have to try it out! My copy of TWoK came in today so between that and these handguards, y'all may not be hearing from me for a while lol. And I've got a few different patterns planned in my head already so we'll see how they turn out. I'll keep y'all posted.

Yeah, TWoK will get you started down the Sanderson rabbit hole and you wont crawl your way out until you've read it all.

I just picked up (20) 11 rib KAC panels at a gun show and will start prepping them for stippling when I get home tonight. $12 bucks per panel + shipping. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
