Initial painting is done. Did some of the white accents tonight. Starting to look bada$$.

But let me tell you, removing the AR was a pain. The plunger tube and barrel are epoxy welded together, and the AR mechanism is buried deep inside. The plunger end has a significantly reduced aperature, so you can't get at it from there, and the AR is almost 4 inches from the barrel end. But wait, it doesn't end there. The AR assembly is free turning in the barrel. So if you try to drill it out, it just spins in place and the drill bit doesn't go anywhere. Ugh.

Persistence, chisels, dental picks, and extra long screw drivers finally got all the remnants of the AR removed.

At this point, just waiting for paint to dry ...
