Well I finally decided to modify my B&C. I shaved down the the forearm, and the pointed front to look like a normal stock and textured it. I also repainted it GAP cammo.
Tell me what you think.

Looks great, what did you use for the outline for painting? Stencils I guess is what I am asking?

Get a long stip of wax paper and lay stips of painters tape overlapping eachother. Draw what you think is a cool cammo shape with a sharpie, and cut it out. You now have a stickable stencle.

Real nice, makes me want to give my B&C a5 some plastic surgery. Looks way better than the factory lines.

It is textured rattle can. You will need to leave it overnight to set. It is not that hard, but when you put 6-10 coats of paint on top it hardens up.

Re: Modified Bell and Carlson A5
I have painted a lot of rifles for local people, and found that krylon is not so bad. I will do two coats of black, tan, and OD. After that, I pull all the tape and run about 4 coats of flat clear. I cures in about a week to where it's not stickey.
I live in Florida and spray in the direct sun to cook it on.
If you are not going to put on a lot of coats I would try somthing harder.
