Gunsmithing Bedding,Modifying and Airbrushing...DIY adventures

Re: Bedding,Modifying and Airbrushing...DIY adventures

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pyplynr</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Holy Santa Claus Shit! That looks amazing! I love doing my own painting, but yours just looks perfect. What stencil burner did you get? I've just been using tape and whatever size stencils I can find. Which most are too big or too small for riflestocks. </div></div>

I just ordered the cheapest one off Amazon. I think it was $16 or something cheap like that. It's a must if you need a bunch of stencils.

Thanks for all the positive responses everyone! Sorry, I haven't been babysitting this thread. I just assumed it was long burried by now.

Very nice to see a success story from a guy that has never picked up a pencil sprayer.

I need to do something like this. I have a stack of Iwata shit that is doing nothing but wasting away

Good work mate, never seen anything like this. Definetley professinal work. Does this rifle shoot as good as it looks though?

In the end, it's still just a 700p chamber and barrel. It shoots about 3/4 moa which is about what it shot before I started working on it. It still shoots better than me on most days. I typically shoot 1 to 1.25 moa

. Eventually I will re-barrel it, but what I really need to do is stop spending money on it and start spending my money on ammo.

Thank you. Your stuff looks bad ass too!
 
Re: Bedding,Modifying and Airbrushing...DIY adventures

holy shit! Was that your first go at painting a stock? I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have just a small amount of artistic skill...

Whatever it is you do now, if it is not stock painting, you should reconsider.

That stock is sick, dude. I have to laugh, because I am thinking about what a stock would look like if I painted it. I have zilch for artisitic ability. Good job man.

For those of you asking for groups. Here are a couple. They are probably the exception. My ability is not always this good.
