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.

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.

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.
