    Not too crazy about the bronze. What are your thoughts?

        i'm not one to have my firearms painted, but it's your stuff to do with as you wish. both of your examples look to be businesslike which i assume was your intent.

            Looks great! I'm having my Desert Eagle done in Tungsten.

                  Next time, go 50% graphite black and 50% burnt bronze mix. Makes for a darker "midnight bronze" that looks awesome. Can play with the ratios to darken it up or lighten it up a bit to your taste. I like 50/50 or 40/60 myself.

                  Personally, I think your rifles look great! Better than boring black

                    Nothing wrong with painting guns those look good but the forward assist has to go. Just, imo

                      I prefer the tungsten but the bronze looks pretty good too. Nice guns!!

                        But really, they look hot to me. Bronze is a little light but I kinda like that. Wouldn't kick either out of my safe.

                          I would of reversed the colors. Bronze for the 6.8 since it's usually used for hunting and tungsten for the 5.56. Looks good though.

                              They look great, don't second guess yourself. Nontypical colors (black or FDE) tend to polarize people- let your freak flag fly!
