Colored Firearms Discussion

I’d pimp it. I seriously do want and have wanted a gold AK47.

@GamecockOperator I don’t know how I missed that thread on all the lowers. I had no idea PSA has done that many different variations of lowers. The tiger stripe is pretty sweet. A frog skin camo would be pretty slick too.

@Marcel_01 I’ve always wanted a gold AK. Really any and all gold guns are awesome. I just have a problem with buying a gun I can’t shoot for fear of damaging it. Looks like I might have a gold rattlecan project in the near future…

I want an AR upper and lower in that new orange from Yeti - King Crab Orange, if I recall correctly. I love the orange furniture from Magpul. I saw a Remington with the orange a while back and it looked really good. I’d paint my house orange, but my wife would leave me - and I can’t cook or clean so I’d be screwed.

I also love the bright green Yeti had, and that would look sick with the coral color they featured a while back. I immediately hated a jeep I saw painted with this combo, but the more I gawked at it , the more it grew on me - until I loved it.

I’m a simple man. I like bright colors clear instructions. I’m serious about that AR upper. My experience with Cerakote is that there is an art to obtaining the perfect shade after the curing process, but that there are talented folks that have perfected that process. Please let me know if you’ve found one of these artists.

The orange designates a less lethal weapon.

aye if the furniture is on sell… this orange shotgun with buckshot is less than lethal i suppose

That’s something I’ve always been curious about. It seems like a Clemson fan should be able to rock their school colors on their favorite firearm, and this bit of artistic expression would be covered under the 1st Amendment, but I don’t really know. We see orange and blue both used in training, and to demonstrate something as less than lethal, and I’ve always been curious as to how that started and where it comes from. I’m probably looking in all the wrong places, but I have not yet found a definitive statute, code, rule, or law, that restricts the artistic use of the color orange, and limits it to less than lethal firearms. I’m sure it’s probably out there buried in the tens of thousands of possible felonies (like buying fish) on the federal rule books, I just haven’t found it. I’m interested in reading that regulation if anyone is willing to point to it.

@ranjevity
It’s not the law of the land. I was just mentioning it since orange was brought up. If you want to, rock it! There’s nothing that says you can’t.

@MichaelAnthony
Bright Orange pump loaded birdshot, pepper ball, birdshot, pepper ball. Sorta less than lethal but still spicy enough to ward off zombies.

For pepperball launchers, at least. Most implementations of less-lethal firearms utilize blue furniture. The aforementioned orange Magpul furniture is just hunter orange, just like with clothing.

You can believe what you want to.


Well here is something that will rock your world and make a political statement at the same time!

I don’t have any evidence to back it up, but I strongly believe that colored guns get normies into ownership and are viewed as less menacing than black guns are.

Maybe it’s human nature to view monotone, dark, shadowy things as scarier than their light, colorful counterparts.

I wonder how much colored paint impacted sales of cars when they were first introduced in only black?

…. so everyone wants awesome colored firearms and the shelves should be lined with them, i absolutely agree

so i did check out the glossy plum and it looks amazing i wish i could see that in red!! @GamecockOperator

Black. Go on now, you chil’rn git from round here! End of discussion. :rofl:

P.S.
AR-15s and M-16s are rifles, not a bag of Skittles.:rofl:
This what happens when you from 1959, and your Grandad was born in 1899. You live in the past, and think everything new fangled is not only un-necessary, but plumb loco…

thanks for agreeing. i knew you had great taste!!! :slight_smile: lol.

@SuperPredator thats an interesting thought… it would be interesting to find out, but id hate to do the study on it thats for sure. You may be right bout having multiple colors making it more acceptable, i know with my mother in law and wife, they both only really get excited in a gun if its colors are very pretty or shiney or sparkly or whatever.

lol. i laughed at your post… my grandad was born in 23, and he raised me mostly, so i like to think its why i like the past so much and history and historical items… so maybe i think verything is new fangled and plumb loco too. :slight_smile:

Yep, my Dad was born in 1917. My mom was born in 32. They experienced the great depression, WW2, and taught us how to be resourceful and resilient. I remember the old folks talking about the old days, and as a kid in the early 60’s this was a life lessons, and I hung on every word. Truly the greatest generation.

Anyway, back to color variety, I do appreciate all of the work and thought people put into their guns. Really creative and cool to look at. I am more into the utilitarian, raw and yes - menacing look. I also want hardwood, on vintage rifles and pistols in keeping period correct, and respectful of the men and women who carried them either hunting, policing or in combat. :us_outlying_islands:

New mags came in. I can finally throw away all the old black ones.

FDE is Gods color. If you don’t convert soon, you will burn forever in black rifle disease land.

Well that may be, any of those black heathen mags you do not want I will gladly take off your hands. I’m perfectly fine with the fate I’m resigned to.

Okay, so last time I checked, Black is also a color.


O man. I like my stuff to look at ghetto as possible. I have a white Camo Glock with a gold slide. An anodized red with gold everything plus red wood furniture, and a few other gaudy guns. But they are my leisure toys. All my PDW stuff and actual hunting stuff is either black, green, or Camo.

see im the opposite. i like keeping my stuff pristine!. its part of my OCD i think.
