Green or Black Stain for this Draco?

AssMan · Mar 25, 2015

Just picked this up today. I'm keen on refinishing the hand guard and I've narrowed the finish down to 2 choices: either OD Green/Moss or Black/Cappuccino stain with BLO finish. Will add either a black or ODG Hogue grip to match. Thoughts?

Can you get it to match the pistol grip?

Black/cappuccino is my vote

I did an N-PAP in a Cabernet stain that would be close, but truth be told, I despise these grips and it's going to go regardless.

That was my first thought, but figured the green might be fun. I suppose if I get sick of the black, I can just sand it and stain it again.

I second the notion for the Black/Cap.

green!

i feel like if you're gonna go black it should be a rail... but i don't know if anyone is making rails for the micro

either way looking forward to pics and a range report!

OD Green

OD Green would look sweet

Stain to match the grip!

Hmm...laminate wood (even well sanded) doesn't take stain very well. Guess I should have expected as much. May need to rethink this and use paint? Any other thoughts?

Black would look great.

Black. Always.

Black scores higher with the typical anti on the conniptionometer.

I think the only product that's going to look even halfway decent is something like a Minwax Polyshade (they do make a black). No way a traditional stain or dye is going to work. The surface is non-porous and more like fiberglass.

Alcohol based stain. It will penetrate better than an oil based stain.

same color as your sock.

Amber shellac and leave the Romy grip on it. Also I'd switch that AR style bird cage(yuck!)for a slant brake or a AIMR conical brake. Swap the Crapco mag with euro steel and remember 922r doesn't apply to pistols

Maybe one of the plasti-dip camo colors will look good. It may take 4+ coats but has a decent feel and possible to peel off if you change your mind, and repairable. Just a thought. YouTube plastidip.
