M40A1 STOCK COLORS

[askernie]

I am building a custom bolt action air rifle for a friend and would like to pattern the stock iafter a M40A1 camo pattern.

The stock pattern would be the most recent pattern not a “smear” version. I’d like to get it as close as possible and i’m having problems matching the colors on the stock especially the red and light green patterns.

It seems the pictures online show all kinds of variations of the green stock, red pattern and light green pattern. In some pics the light green pattern even resembles “mint” color.

Can someone shed some light? Help me out?

LMAO... one interesting thing about these stocks is they are all different, kinda like a fingerprint.
That first picture is of my rifle!
