Cool project and tutorial, thank you for posting this! Some questions...
What about the barrel under the quad rail - just incidental coverage? Why tape off the end of the barrel? Do you take special care to protect the internals from overspray or seepage? What if you're unhappy with the finished product, is it easy to remove?

Thanks bro.
Usually I'll do the barrel in high heat paint but, this time I got lazy and didn't want to remove the handguard. My brother wanted the bbl to stay black so, I just taped what you can see. Yes, make sure to not get paint in the action, it will not be a good thing. The pics don't show it but, I taped up the action from the inside and outside of the ejection port. If you screw up or get tired of the paint, a little mineral spirits and a rag will remove the paint. It might take a bit of time, tho.

1 Year Update
It's been a year since I have done this so, here is an update.
The rifle has not been used hard but, has seen several hundred rounds through it after the paint job. The paint has held up well with no chipping, wearing, or cracking. I have taken care as to not get gun solvents on the finish, though. I won't post a pic of it now because, it looks the same as the original pictures. So, prep is the key here. Degrease, degrease, degrease.........spray a good base layer and a clear coat and you will be fine. I'm sure if you use your rifle in harsher conditions or not baby it, it'll wear as time goes on. Just figured I'd update this project.
