There definitely are some tooling lines visible through the cerakote. However, I actually kinda dig the aesthetic along with the slightly charcoal color and think it’ll pair awesome with the engravings and give it a real neo-industrial vibe.
Also, build wise it still gives me exactly what I want. Lightening features, no ambi, and true free float barrel.-One Nation, Under God

So here’s another question. Is there any real reason to use or consider a visible laser? I’ve never been able to think of one save for possibly training, or bedside usage for people who need corrective lenses.

Yeah I followed that. All I really got from it was depends on environmental’s, may be complimentary to other sighting systems. More at home on rifles.
Guess what I’m looking for is if there’s a good reason TO or NOT TO use one.
Main sighting system is going to be a Kahles 1-8x-One Nation, Under God

That other thread was for pistol, wasn't it? And now we're talking carbine? I don't run lasers at all, except mounted to the heads of sharks in my evil lair, but isn't the main use of laser on carbines for IR and night vision? Otherwise, the only other reasons I'd consider a laser are psychological (no one likes a laser dot illuminating their sternum) or if I thought I'd have to be shooting but couldn't be "behind the gun", which isn't a scenario I actually plan for.

Well, I settled on and purchased a barrel. 5-7 weeks out supposedly.
Black River Tactical CHF 12.5” with their EXC gas system.

Nice
That’s not too bad of a wait.

All parts are finally in hand, save for the suppressor. All that’s left now is to send the barrel for cerakote and for the stamp to clear.
Sizing the artwork took a painful amount of attempts, but looks sick!

I like it! Is that a cartoon girl or anime or something? Or just some random broad?

You’re not far off actually. It’s based off Angel from the Borderlands series of games. Thought her character was a good match for the neo-industrial look of the receives. That’s also why the upper got a wing.

Ah yes Borderlands! Been a while but I see the resemblance. Nice work.

Looks fantastic, Aragorn!!! I've done 2 builds with laser work (not nearly as artistic and refined as yours) and I've been really pleased with the outcome. Your build inspires me to get going on some projects I have planned. Good stuff!

Still looking for that ammo? https://oldvirginia.net/product/blac...7-gr-tmk-ammo/
Give him a call, good dude and he has been dealing with black hills directly for a long time. Even if its OOS on his site still call!! That is one good looking rifle BTW!The best way to survive a violent encounter is to be the one inflicting the most violence.
