I'm leaving the barrel alone for now. Hard to see in the pics but it actually has a green tint from the factory. Maybe before I re-barrel it I'll play with the idea.

Re: 1st Paint Job
I have painted rifles with Krylon, but have never baked them, did it make a difference?
Nice job by the way. What part of NE Florida do you live in, im in the panhandle.

Baking just cures it faster and makes it less prone to scratching initially when the paint is still soft. Not sure if it does anything long-term. I'm in Jax.

Re: 1st Paint Job
This thing was bad ass before, now it just looks AMAZING. I can't wait to see it in person with this paint on the 30th. This will be the only time in our life time that I will admit you have more balls than I.

Surely you don't think this will be your only reminder?
I requested info for the 30th match but haven't heard back. After poking around a bit there may be caliber restrictions so I'm not sure I can use this. I may have to use the SASS or one of your bolt guns.

Re: 1st Paint Job
Everybody seems to like the job you did, and I agree, it does look good in the pictures, BUT, why would you use rattle can technology on $7-8k worth of rifle and scope? Would you do the same on an expensive car, truck or motorcycle?

Rick

Quite simple...I wanted to make sure that I'd retain the ability to <span style="font-style: italic">easily </span>return it to original condition if I didn't like it. That wouldn't have been an option with Cerakote or other finishes. It's not a safe queen and as such will need to be re-barreled in another year. When I tear it down for that I'll likely explore something more permanent. The pics really don't do it justice...it came out extroardinarily well for a piss can job. You'd be hard pressed to tell it wasn't done with a gun.
Hmmm...camoflaged truck? Now you got me thinking

Well I'm far from rich but I'm not starving. It's just while all the sheeple are investing in 401K's and IRA's I prefer to invest in precious metal

I'm sure it will scratch...krylon stays soft for awhile. Scratches give it character though.
