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

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.

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

Nice work man... This is the first paint job of this kind a really like.
 
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.
 
Re: Bedding,Modifying and Airbrushing...DIY adventures

Excellent work, man! I love how you brought The Constitution into it and the skeletal hand.

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