Dev's M14 MASSIVE UPDATE+PAINT!!!

[Dev]

Pretty much finished up all I'm going to be doing on my baby, the M14. Check out what it started at:


Where it's at now:




Parts list:
-Systema Hop up rubber
-Polar Star Concave nub
-PDI 170 Spring
-G&G RIS unit
-G&G Rail covers
-UTG 3-9 x 50 green/red illuminated crosshairs
-BLACKHAWK! Cheek Rest
-Harris Engineering 6-9 in Bipod
-Allen Neoprene 2-point sling
-Tightbore (came preinstalled stock)
-4 mags

And what I want it to look similar to after paint, minus the suppressor.



Just finished with paint, should I put on those stripes or keep it straight green like this? The green by itself has really started to grow on me.




Let me know what you think!

I don't think you should paint it, well.. except that orange on the flashhider needs to go. That rail looks really nice as well as the peq.

[Dev]

Yeah, definitely painting that orange tip later and also the scope mount is going to be repainted from that tan that it was painted for my m4 awhile back.

Perhaps a Harris too?

Needs a suppressor and a bigger scope. Otherwise, nice gat.

This. Which I actually happen to be selling a big scope which would look boss on this very gun! But yeah Def get a Harris style bipod, and a suppressor and you'll be set.

The paint scheme in the first picture does look nice however.

LULZ...Super misleading. Thought the first M14 was the one this thread is about.

[Legionnaire]

^ Same.

I say paint it exactly like the first pic, and a get a bigger scope. I would say suppressor too but it would look wonky with the full length barrel.

[Chubbs]

Looks pretty nice! When I first opened this post I thought the first m14 was yours I have nothing else to say!

[Crapshoot]

Needs a suppressor, bigger scope, and Harris. Looks nice, but the PEQ 15 looks a tad out of place, IMO.

I can only wish! =.=

Definitely agree on getting a bigger scope, Gunny, and a Harris would look sick.

Also, the suppressor issue is a tricky one, apparently the G&G version m14 has a weird flashhider on it, they glue the shit out of it and when you do finally get it off, the threads seem to be bigger than 14mm, that is of course just what I've heard from reading a bunch of discussions on the topic. Plus, the gun is so long anyhow, a suppressor might tip it into ridiculously long territory.

I wouldn't do a suppressor as it's already rather long you begin with. You should buy gunnys scope or get an m3 replica, the peq makes it look nice and modern combined with that rail.

[fuzzywolly]

If eye relief is not an issue with your face protection, some low rings would look nicer as well. Something about high rings just don't look right.

[Sandbur]

I say paint it. Shit'll look dope.

[a1 (Babez)]

Pure. Sex. Ugh.

Needs more scope though.

I'll have an update up tomorrow or the next day.

Also, anyone have a suggestion on what brand Harris to pick up?
