BOTW: Jodie's Rebel Scum Build

by Tom R

The 20th Installment of Build of the Week was contributed by Jodie P. This build is pretty straightforward. It has a decent optic, a Faxon barrel, and Strike should be happy to see a build with one of their stocks. What makes this build stand out is the paint scheme which clearly identifies its use as a terrorist weapon against the Empire. I will concede that it is probably more effective than a bunch of Storm Troopers armed with Reformations. Shots fired…

    It's different. Really different. Not my cup of Moogan tea, but plenty of positives. Mostly the desire and guts to be different and have fun perhaps in a different way, self cerakoting (it's really not that hard), and a perhaps unintentional focus on economy in a custom build. Great effort!

    love that red white blue handguard.
    must be a law against it on the left coast.
