Would you change the looks of this AR?

Thanks. I may be giving you a holler in a couple of weeks.

Ok sounds good. I appreciate it.

I just hate to rattle can a $200 handguard. Plus, the camo is too light in color for me anyway.

I'm good at getting paralysis from analysis.

I really need to shoot it first to make sure I want to keep it before doing very much to it.

Shave it’s butt and make it walk backwards

Heck, you never know, if it shoots well enough I might learn to love it just the way it is.

And if so, what would you do to change it?

I just bought this off of a coworker. It's a Saint that he had cerakoted and then changed it to a free float handguard later. It just doesn't look right to me but I kind of hate to rattle can over it because it appears to be done well.

I guess I'm just not into camo guns.

If you don't mind the "coyotte" color in the snow camo, I would just put a coyotte colored handguard (13-15 inch) on it. Otherwise, there are some nice dips for around $40-50 that could give you just about any pattern you could ever want. Dips are generally more durable than spray paint and give a very professional look to a $1400 AR.

Is it any less ugly with the FDE furniture?

Not much. I'd still dismantle it and either try and remove it myself, or have someone remove it and respray in FDE, black, or old school gray. Or have it re-anodized.

To me it's an improvement but I think you need an FDE handguard and sell the black one to me at a family discount.....

It’s just a gun. It’s nice when you don’t have to worry about scratching it or anything.
