So i had this idea to fiberglass my 96 body, i was sucessfull in doing so. I as well fiberglassed the cheek peice and grip.

Here is a picture of the grip, very close up. Pictures of the full gun will be posted some other time when its fully done.

Yes is does indeed look like burlap, wich is what i want it to look like. However, this is burlap that doesnt fall off.

Are you gonna repaint when it's all done or leave it like that?

leave it so it makes it look like its burlap, its very authentic looking. Almost right out of Iraq.

I spent my first 3 years in the Army doing nothing but Sheetmetal and fiberglass, so let me warn you. I can't tell the type from the picture, but as i'm sure you are well aware it likes to make ones hands itch. It may be a tight weave and be impregnated with gorrilla glue, but it is eventually going to wear down and itch the hell out of your palm. Just be careful and be sure to watch the wear. You don't want that adhesive getting in your blood.

Its resin, its part of a teeshirt wrapped and hardend basically. I didnt get the fibercloth stuff because i knew it was going to itch, instead i used an old teeshirt.

Now that is smart my friend, +1 to you. Are you going to do the front end of it also?

im not exactly sure yet, i will have to play around with photoshop or something and try and figure out where it would look best, because where my hand usually goes is the spot where the mag is. Maybe i will put a strip or something on the sides than around the bottom.

Maybe some textured spraypaint? That paint I painted my AK was the shit, and lasted forever even with only 1 coat!

Textured spray paint wont do the trick.
