    I don’t know much about Cerakote, this was my first gun that had a “coating” of whatever it is. I’ve noticed it comes off with the slightest of abrasion, and never been happy about that. I’ve also never been happy with the color of Beretta’s version of FDE, it has too much green in it if you ask me. Looks nothing like Magpul’s version if we assume their’s is the industry standard, not that it is. Moving forward, I may redo the finish to fix the color and abrasion resistance with something from Vang Comp or such. Would NP3 be an option for corrosion resistance too? 🤔

    As to the Velcro job, it was probably a blessing to put the wrong side strip on first. I can’t imagine it staying on with how easily it came off after setting about 20-25 minutes. Food for thought to owners of other “Cerakote” covered 1301’s out there with a Velcro side saddle on them. Meanwhile, it came out looking OK to me, and functions well with the Vang Comp cards:

    these are painted with Aervoe spray paints that I got from Brownells. All I did was degrease with alcohol. I find it more durable than Rustoleum or other Wally World spray paints.

    I bet you can get close with some testing (if you want to go the budget route)

    I don't think you could mess it up.





    Here is my SBR freshly painted in 2014. I used it extensively for training classes and duty use. I parked it roughly 2018 as I was assigned one at work.



    Here is a 2020 pic of the same SBR. The paint has held up very well to heavy use, especially on the alum surfaces.

    My GG&G Mossberg adapter and SGA showed up. The instructions state the buffer is not used. Is that a change from earlier production? I remember several of you mentioning the GG&G retained the buffer.

    And… I’m a moron. I thought the silver lever was the buffer, but it became obvious when I installed the stock that GG&G incorporates a replacement buffer in their design.

    That's why I got away from using anything but black for AR components. Everyone's FDE, OD, foliage/forest/etc., grey, etc. is slightly (to a lot) different. Everyone's black is close enough to matching. So you can have BCM, Magpul, whatever components and furniture you want and it will all be black.

    Of course, if you're going to do a full rattle can job as seen above, just get whatever's cheapest.

    That’s what I learned from this, my first gun maker FDE experience. I wanted and like, the Black and Tan look, favoring the Magpul “Tan”. I decided to try the FDE gun and the black stock and black Beretta forend because I prefer the OEM forend to the Aridus/Magpul version. Thus my self imposed rock and hard place. In retrospect, I wish I would have bought the less expensive black 1301 and the FDE Magpul stock. Then, I could have painted the black OEM forend to match (hopefully) the Magpul FDE color. Alternatively, I could have sprung for the Aridus/Magpul forend in FDE. Perhaps 1301 #2. 🤔

    Yep, sorry all, it's been a busy few months. I am no longer a Pasta Master Supreme and have now decided to learn how to make Waffles.

    I am happy to help with any questions about the platform as I am intimately familiar with it and but YMMV with anything as I am no longer with Pasta HQ.
    Used to make pasta, now I make waffles.

    Great to have you back, and congrats on the new gig!

    Are you allowed to tell us what they actually did to achieve 922(r) compliance on the new 1301s with the extended mag tube?

    Can you get FN/Browning to start making and importing the 20-round FNAR mags again? They are going for anywhere from $100-150 on GB and have been for more than a year and a half. Not everyone who bought a BAR MkIII DBM lives in a socialist utopia, and some of us would like to have 20 rounders without paying double.
