Fieldcraft ANOTHER rfle paint question...

[DaveV]

Trust me, I searched and searched this topic, but came up dry.

I am kicking around painting my rifle old school M81 Woodland pattern. Do you guys recommend Bulldog Arms for the easiest approach?

Ya, that's pretty much it. Any advise?

Re: ANOTHER rfle paint question...

You can actually pull this off with blue painters tape and exacto and some DuraCoat in the standard woodland camo configs. You can also buy stencils from those who offer them, but they may or may not be in the right scaling for a rifle stock. You can use an old pair of BDUs to give your mind something to think on when doing the pattern with a pencil and then cut it with the exacto. I am the guy who painted the stock shown above and I did not buy any stencils.

Once you buy the tape and the paint and an airbrush etc, it is cheaper to pay somebody like myself to do it

Good point, however, it would take all the fun out of me trying to screw up my gun!!

Thanks for the input!

Thanks shaggy. That is Force Multipliers stock. Haven't heard from him in a while. He was supposed to be back from the sandbox I thought by now and we were gonna meet up and kill some some coyotes.

It is fun to do Dave. If you get stuck on anything shoot me a PM and will get you going in right direction.

Thanks again, ARP. I'm still going through the mental adjusting to painting my rig. I'm about there, but I still have my moments. Once I go there, it will be hard to go back. Thanks again!
