Something about the RA-Tech hand guard color bothered me so I refinished it with red mahogany and polyurethane mixed with Rit-Dye. I was impatient and reassembled it before I was done. I should have done four or five more coats of poly to give a deeper red candy effect. The color is a bit darker than it appears on camera.




Here is the updated parts list:

Hephaestus steel trigger set
FG high speed buffer
FG low flow system
RA-Tech wood handguard
RS bakelite grip
Maple Leaf 75 degree Hop-Up Rubber

The hammer broke so I bought a reinforced one. The trigger box cracked, so I cut a steel plate and reinforced that. I finally get it working again and the first day I use it the hammer spring snaps... So this ones out of action again.

But at least it looks good
