Had an opportunity to install an etched spring cover on one of my 7.62 M1s. Sure makes ID easier when grabbing a rifle out of a safe. Works for me.

I have a fried that I visit every Thursday that has been doing them for me. I supply the sight covers and then we come up with the artwork together. For the small fee he charges, I think they are great.

Your friend should make up a batch of sight covers. I'd buy one for my .308 Winchester M-1 Garand. I'm sure there would be others who were interested. Sincerely. bruce.

Just dropped a bunch of sight covers off this morning. He is going to do logos for each of the different services for me. Next week I plan on dropping off another 10 for the 7.62mm NATO treatment so I might have some for guys that would like them. It's all fun.

Tools for the dumb. I fired a .308 in a 30-06 with the expected result. No damage done...some embarrassment. Maybe I need a big sign.

I should be picking up a bunch this Thursday. I asked to drop the mm after the 7.62 thinking it was a little too busy. So the new one will read 7.62 over NATO. Bruce and Jim, PM me your addresses and I will see what I can do.

I have a A1ish (mixed bag of parts ) AR in 6mmx45

every thing is standard AR,

I went English and painted a red band across the front of the handguard so I would know it was not 556

Just curious, does that burn off the parkerizing and leave chance of rust if not kept oiled? That would really be a bad day to have that artwork ruined.

Yes of coarse it would. Don't know about you, but I have never relied on un-oiled park to keep anything from rusting.

nice detail work

That is an understatement. Looking at these pieces under magnification, even the small print in the tiny banners is legible. I am easily fascinated by technology.
