Does anyone have any decals on your guns? I stumbled on a site that does custom ones and I’m trying to picture what some of these would look like on my rifle and google images doesn’t really filter the fact that I want to see a decal ON A GUN and not a gun shaped decal :mad: . I have a feeling this may be a thing most people hate, and to be fair I’m a bit on the fence if I would ever put a decal on my guns, but I’d love to see if anyone has any.
Depends on the decal…what’s the website.
People in the 1800’s would sometimes decorate their weapons, so why not today. It seems harmless.
A white sharpie marker does a good job…
But anyways no just get a sticker and plop it on
All you need for decoration is Paki tape.
I had this laser etched on a bunch of mags - with the number of the mag in the box:
Thinking about having the wife cut a stencil and put it on the A2 stock of my service rifle. Just because.
I’ll rattle can mine, and change up the look to fit whatever I happen to be doing with that particular firearm, and I’ve also used GunSkins in the past. Not sure if that counts as a decal or not, but putting an actual sticker on just isn’t really my cup of tea.
Punisher Skull.
On everything.
Ha!
I have a decal and some stupid engraving on one rifle that came that way when I bought it [emoji34]. It was a good price so I overlooked that nonsense. The sticker is huge and on the buttstock. Big white sticker on a black stock, says something like ZOMBIE RESPONSE TEAM. Every time I take it out I scratch a little bit more off! But damn…that thing is like cemented on.
What really bothers me now is the engraving. It bothered me a little when that young cop shot some dude in a hotel hallway with an AR that had some mucho crap written on the dust cover. And it bothers me even more now after the NZ shooting. I can just see it now. If I used it to defend myself…even if my house was broken into by Hitler himself leading a group of ISIS members the news would just focus on the engraving
Took it to a few gunsmiths and they can’t do anything about it. Too deep to polish off. Think I’m just going to put some black duct tape over it and leave it at that. If anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears
Otherwise no! No stickers and no derp phrases,

I don’t have any “decals” but since I started building Retros the number of ARs I have has increased sharply. I now have nine of them, with a couple extra upper receiver groups as well.
Since I shoot my ARs often, and I’m constantly switching between them, in order to keep track what gun is doing what at any given time, I started keeping a log for round counts, part replacements, ejection angle etc…with this many guns it is easier if the guns are numbered. Thus most of my ARs have “rack numbers” on the stocks now.
Number 6
Number 3
Number 2 is a special case…it has both a number and a “U Mad” Trollface pin, as a shout-out to my proud heritage as an instigator of trouble.
Are those Brownell’s Type D butts or refinished originals?
Brownells, I have them on three guns. The two pictured and one other fixed stock carbine. I’ve been reserving my originals for Retro builds. (I don’t put my rack numbers on original furniture though)
I have stickers on a few of my weapons. The stickers were given to me after being custom made by the (former) owner and founder of Gunskins. I have slapped them on a few weapons, on the tan one, the sticker hides the large blem / engraving, on the CZ Scorpion, I did it because it was easier than slapping my logo on stuff. I also have my logo laser engraved on a few stocks, but those were gifted from KAC, so they hold special meaning to me.
Reviews are pretty mixed on those stocks, with most not being overly impressive. I’ve kicked around the idea of buying one and putting foam on the empty inside, but it would be nice if Brownells had done that. What are your thoughts on this? Do you feel it needs any additional support?
They should’ve made the balls smaller…LOL
They do feel quite a bit cheaper than an original although I don’t know as the material itself is actually weaker, I suspect not to be honest. I haven’t been intentionally running them over or throwing them off buildings or anything but mine have been out in fairly cold weather and suffered the odd fall without breaking. I personally haven’t put foam in mine but I don’t see any downside to doing it. I don’t know as it would really help the structural integrity of the stock itself but the extra density would likely help give it a more “substantial” feel.
Men’s room signs on your weapons?
