    They look good! thx for sharing, I'm going to make one of my AR15s bronze and your post gave me some ideas, think I'll have it a darker bronze, half graphite, as suggested above.

        Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

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


            Originally I thought the color was gonna be different from the example on the rifles I've seen they previously worked out. It does seem a little darker than normal

            They didn't even mention mixing anything too me. That should of been something I should of looked into

              I was thinking the same thing. I actually just took it off not long ago

              I'm glad it's just not plain black like the rest of my rifles

              Next color is going to be gold on my AR pistol

                I had them done at different places to see the quality on them. The tungsten turned out much nicer than expected and the shop that did that for me was more attention to detail

                  I was thinking the same thing. Good thing I have plenty of more rifles to abuse while these stay in the safe

                    Looks great. I just had my 2nd rifle Cerakoted. I almost went with burnt bronze. Maybe if I get another build in time I can do the bronze. I like the idea of darkening it though.

                        Ah. We live in California. Not much for hunting lol
