Aw, c'mon man...you can't just say that and *not* post a pic or two of it!
Well I did a little bad wording...I have everything ordered but the upper took forever to ship, it's supposed to arrive on Friday and I'll post pics next week...here and in hot deals where I have a thread on the polymer lower it's built on;)

Well, if it's what she wants, then so be it.

The options for pink furniture are pretty slim...there's also a standard handguard one but she likes the vertical grip so that left this as the only one...I might try my hand at Krylon painting an MOE set in the future but for now it will get her to the range:D

It needs a Hello Kitty sticker. ;)

If you don't like pink, did you try to sell her on wood. It would look nice without being feminine.

Oh she gets the wood:cool:

On a serious note the weight would become a factor with wooden furniture, weighs a heck of a lot more than plastic...and besides, it's not what I'm shooting;)

That AR looks yuck because the light/dark areas are visually unbalanced, and also because it has three distinct materials/surface types including the magazine.

I'm willing to bet that just spray painting the visible part of the magazine to be the same light pink color as the furniture would make that gun look a *ton* better.
