Just an average guy with interests in burning metal, muscle cars, rat rods, shooting sports (I.D.P.A, 3 Gun, Action Shooting) AR-15 / AR-10 Build's and accessories, and lots and lots of shameless shenanigans.
I'm currently about to start the first of two planned builds starting with a very low budget entry level 3gun rifle build that will be tested & reviewed to see what works for budget money to get a guy (or gal) started. the Second will be more refined 3gun rifle with budget in mind but not restricting the build. I will do reviews and how-to' while the projects unfold. Budget=cheap-ass chit? No, that's not how I roll; I believe in the BIG3, quality, consistent functionality, and durability. A product must meet all of these in order to be of good use. After all else, it's in the operators hands. I currently work in Product testing, (not related) taking products to their failure point; working with design engineers until they can withstand the harshest conditions.

not having to bake it, I've shot alot of 3gun with guys thrashing on their rifles and cerakote wears off the same way. I will agree its slightly tougher, but not by much. with this acid washing procedure I've found the base coats to be tough as nails. 've gotten scratches in the top coats on muptl colors but have yet to notice a base coming off.

Thanks for posting the video and showing your work. I think you went into a stencil rage, though. In my opinion, your stencils were chaotic in shape and placement and by the time you were done the gun looked like a painters apron at Michael's. Do better my friend. Do better. Fewer stencils and a better plan for their placement. Liked and subbed anyway.

You have 28x9-14 on the front. Do you have same on rear or 10 or 11 wide rear. I only see that the bronze 4x110 only come in 5+2 and +10 mm. I ask because I would be putting 11 wide on rear and 9 on the front using these equal width wheels. I already have the Bighorn tires. Just wondering if the rear would be to taller due to equal width.

I will try to find the part numbers they were Amazon finds. The make 2 sizes though, these are the wider ones that fill the holes and are closer to the OEM sized light.
