Debating abandoning the Bootleg upper until I can get the matching PWS lower, or perhaps even entirely.
Especially after seeing this.

Ignoring how fugly it is in general, it doesn't even mate well with the BCM forend, which is another part I've already got for it. Doesn't go with the forend, or any lower I have or can get... causing more frustration than anything.

Some o'that sweet Magpaul furniture'll fix it right up!

The KMR is understated so I imagine it will look fine. It also has a tool look to it, though, which contrasts the more creative appearance of the fortis, IMO.

Another option to complement that rail and a forged lower is the well respected Vltor MUR upper. And it an understated tool design and less expensive than fortis. You can get with or without FA. That would go well with the KMR.

Example of the MUR on Noveske forged. This photo belongs to Cornbread.

Yeah, the MUR is also in the debate. Used to have one though, even matched with a forge lower so I know exactly what it looks like.

Still not sure. We'll see. Probably be either the Fortis or MUR though. MUR has the advantage of having the lower FA and being cheaper. Not sure if I'm partial to the Fortis in appearance, I feel like I might be. No way to know how either would look with a KMR. Google has not been helpful with that.

Here's one I was considering using with a forged lower. The 2A armament has the lower FA like the MUR but has similar lines to a forged upper. These some pics they sent when I asked how well it would match up with a forged lower. The newer version of this upper doesn't have the flare up front.

That's clean.

Hey now that's not bad either! Wonder if the weight they listed is with or without the upper parts kit (guessing not). I know the fortis is advertised with the weight of the kit installed.

Super clean...

You're correct the 7.8 is stripped.

I'm kinda leaning this way. I've got the matching PWS lower on order, but it'll be at least another 8 months before I see it. I'm half thinking about just letting the Bootleg sit until then, and getting a different, MATCHED set of receivers to finish out this build. No idea which receivers though. Honestly, I really just have no idea what I'm doing at this point.



Sage wisdom.

Clear coat and rustoleum. Jeff Cross used that combo on the CMT 9mm PDW's at the NWSSE. Everyone thought it was powder coated and wanted that to be the finish of the production gun, until he told them what it actually was.

...that's actually kind of awesome and amusing. Where can I see a pic of this?

Yep. I clear coated a couple of my rattle canned rifles and it gave it a slightly bumpy texture (not like sandpaper or anything, just not smooth like spraypaint done properly).

Unless I just HAD to have a woodland pattern or something (probably the only one I'd do), I'll stick to rattle cans. How they look when they get nice and worn is an added bonus.

This one?

I saw that pic and thought it was just In the White. Didnt realize there was a finish there.

11B, I may have to go browse some of your photos. Pretty sure I'm not planning to rattlecan anything, but my interest is certainly piqued.
