Seriously nice camo.

Where`ve I seen that hydra before?

Where`ve I seen that hydra before?

It was featured on 30 Caliber Clip TV a few years ago.

What is "OCP" exactly? I am kinda liking it.

Operation Camouflage Pattern It's similar to Multicam, without the brand name and vertical aspects of the pattern. When you see our military personnel off base near me, they use have a uniform in that pattern.

You may recall that a couple years ago I did it for myself on one of those 30 caliber clip ghost gunz. https://waguns.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=72017&hilit=i+made+ocp+with+duracoat

Army's bootleg Multicam because Crye wanted too much for the brand name. At least the British MTP uses a brushstroke pattern!

Get your tool coated!

A member wanted his camber measure tool Cerakoted. Here it is in Cerakote Elite Smoke.

The dollar amount Crye wanted was peanuts compared to the amount we spent on that clusterfugg known as UCP. The kick in the nuts is that the Army tested OCP (aka Scorpion, back then) alongside UCP......and picked UCP because they really believed (flawed) computer modeling showing that one pixelated camoflage pattern would be ideal for all conditions. The Army was also very jealous of the Marines and their MARPAT (2 different color schemes) uniforms, and thought that they would be the darlings of the DoD by being the first service to only need to field 1 camoflage uniform for all expected field environments. They were (of course) wrong, and started buying Multicam for Afghanistan deployments when it was found that Crye could produce the uniforms in a relatively short time span. OCP is a very effective pattern for temperate wooded and semiarid environments....but we shall see what happens in the future when the brainiacs get together in the Pentagon in the future to think up something new for us to wear.

Those coatings look great, Dreadi. I'm considering a .450 Bushmaster build and just might need some of your handiwork incthe near future.

Thanks for the history lesson and I'm happy to help.

Making Glocks Great Again




Slide: Cerakote Milspec O.D. Green
Barrel, Extractor, Holster: Cerakote Coyote Brown

Both colors are mixed with minimal catalyst for a nice matte finish.

M2 replica in Cerakote Elite Smoke and Graphite Black parts on the handles.

I really like the color combo and finish on that Glock.
