Weathered my M16A1

[ronin677]

So after going to a couple of great Viet Nam based events lately, I decided to weather my JG M16A1. After the taking the rifle completely apart, I had the metal parts sand blasted back to bare aluminium. I then treated them with Birchwood Casey Aluminium Black, before using wire wool to take them almost all the way back down again. A quick wipe with WD40 on the metal finished the job. Then put it all back together together again

Looks the bollocks mate. You've done a really great job and way suits the era much better than the 'out of the box look'. Now you just need to get those OG's dirty!

Well done. Looks good.
