My latest project was machining this receiver made of 7076 aluminum. The
Anodizing is pretty thick @ about 1.6 mils, and I died it over night in HBL
Black, and sealed in nickel acetate for about 40 minutes.
A single layer of GunKote was baked on for durability. The upper is Armalite
production, with a M1A Gen II modified magazine. The LPK is an Armalite AR-10,
and the buttstock is a fixed A2 DPMS. The hand guard is a Free float AR10T
w/screw on AR10T barrel nut.
I thought it was appropriate to use the new Star Trek engineering badge, and the
ST: Enterprise model number. You can call it nerdy but it is on one badass AR-10
I made, and yes it really shoots .308 Winchester.
This was a pretty fun project, that had some challenging moments... btw: I
used STUN & KILL instead of SAFE & FIRE on the safety :)
