I'm pretty sure you can't, at least not legally. Hello Kitty is copyrighted, and I'm pretty sure they would never license HK images for use on firearms. This means a commercial businesses can't legally sell them.

That said, anyone can get a pink firearm, either manufactured that way or else painted (Cerakote Coatings: Finishes), and HelloKitty stickers are available anywhere girly stuff is sold.

I don't know, think about it if you have an AR that looks like a kids toy you could keep it in a place or with a bunch of toys in a basement or some area [if you have kids that are too young ect this may not work.] and a thief would think it is a toy and over look it.

Having an AR-10, I always thought the -15 looked like a toy in comparison.

This says more about you than it does the AR-15/M16's. Carried both a M-14 and M-16. M-14 was a great gun but I could literally carry twice the amount of ammo for a M-16 and shots on target were much quicker, even in a fully built out position.

Doesn't anyone remember when Michael Bloomberg tried to have brightly colored guns banned.

BTW, I always wanted to get my hands on one of the Blaze Orange 1911's from Springfield.

They were offered in like the late 80's-early 90's time frame.

In fact, I have long been an advocate of brightly colored Police pistols.

If I point a pistol at someone.... I want them to know how close to the edge they are getting.

Huh... Not in my neck of the woods....

A Dime a dozen.

They carry no particular extra value, in fact they are often shunned.

Same with the mags....

Up until a short time ago, they actually carried a LOWER price than unmarked one.

T'was, the M-14, a major factor that my gun merchant used to sell me on the AR-10.

I LOVED the M-14, the way the magazine slammed in, the way I could use it in kneeling. I suppose, looking back on it, shooting the 40X on JROTC just followed through.............

.............................but long story short, if I ever have to shoot, if I hit "him" with a .308, he's going down!

Your neck of the woods probably is not playing with the kind of money that serious collectors are playing with.

6.5 or 6.8 shoots a pretty nasty round too.

.308 is a good round. I looked into the A-10 once but if I were to get a .308 it would be the M1A.
