Orange Tips

Postby k3gn3123512 » Sun Nov 15, 2009 2:38 pm

I have been looking at some of the AEG in the Rate My AEG section and i noticed none of them have orange tips. Its the law i thought to have them on. Or do people ignore it and remove them. I have to agree that they look much better without them.
And yes i read the topic above

The orange tip is required for Commercial Transport and Sale. If it's in private ownership, then it is legal to remove the orange tip

Could be different in New Jersey, check your local ordinances.

Also, do not paint over it. Buy another flashhider for the gun you have. On a lot of guns you can unscrew the tip and replace it. That way, you can use either, depending on where you are.

If your laws don't allow the removal, this is a good suggestion. Otherwise you'll be fine.

How about for Pistols which have the Orange tips painted on?

Don't buy pistols with the orange painted on the slide unless you wanna repaint the whole thing. get ones with an orange cap over the end of the barrel.

The new ones with the full trades have paint over the barrel, but unlike most orange paint, it's pretty easy to get off with a little acetone and a paper towel.

You rub acetone on the orange tip and clean it off with the paper towel. Takes a bit of time. If you have the KWA glocks with the orange paint on the slide then good luck

KSC not KWA.
Are there tips to buy to put over. Like a barrel condom for pistols?
