I am curious that Magpul didn’t use a thermoset plastic that wouldn’t melt or burn for the handguards.

Too brittle?

wondering (again) if a wallpaper version of the whole firearm in this state is possible.

All that abuse makes it kinda look like a battlefield pickup

The pictures are awesomely taken! Very good job on that part!
I’m finding this post super interesting as a Materials Engineer (soon to be) point of view, the result of extreme heat on the polymer HG is astonishing! And we can clearly see the sand and mud interwined with the polymer fillaments, very good photo, thank you Vuurwapen!

You can definately see signs of heat on that gas tube. It looks like you held a acetylene torch on it close to the point of melting.

Good job on aligning VurrwapenBlog on the gas tube. It almost looks like it is inscribed.

I’m impressed the gas tube was still in such good shape, other than that it performed as I had expected.
