Well I got a rifle the other day and just did not like the way it looked grey plastic stock and shiny scope. I went hunting with it sitting on the ground in my leafy suit with a rifle that looked like it was yelling look here I am. That was no good got two deer but still thought to myself the entire time this gun has to change. My son also had one that the barrel was rusted bad after being put in a gun case that was wet another story. So heres what I did for about 20 bucks.

Cleaned all oil off the gun remove rubber and taped up what I did not want painted

It was warm outside so we moved to other shop to spray thats is my Army son for those that know me spraying his rifle and mine hanging next to him. He is always picking on me for taking pics to share with my buddies on cast boolits.

Added some brown was sons ideal to do it like that which after seeing it I liked it alot really broke it up good. Thing is if you dont like it just shoot it again and start over no big deal.

That is the one my son did we did not want to paint the wood on it since the only thing that was wrong with the rifle was the metal. And I liked the way it turn out also. He liked it doing it the next day he got another one of his rifles out and camo it also. I may have to hide the paint it was so much fun doing this with my son all my guns my be camo lol.

They look great, I'm curious of how you got the leaf pattern on them.
What is the minnie truck you got there, a kids toy or a remote controled truck?? Looks cool.

It looks like he used a fern stem for his pattern. Just use whatever foilage you hunt in for the pattern.

Nice job, Ricky. Did you straighten up the shop before the photo shoot? Not a lot of clutter to be seen.:bigsmyl2:

Looking good, Ricky. You serve coffee in there? I'll find a spot to set it down. Nice camo job. That'd make the deer walk right out in front of that rifle, thinking that it's a tree limb or such.

We're takin' care of our own, just like he would.

Well let me see if I remember all the ? The truck is a go kart made to look like a rig trailer is not hooked up right now working on engine then some cleaning of the chrome stacks and rims. The fern was the leaf we used on those two but any thing really works good if it blocks the paint. One trick is shaking works good dont leave crisp lines lets some fog under them helps with the over all look. I tried cleaning the shop up for pics and got picked on now I get picked on for not cleaning is there any rules on this ? And son was home not on leave just post near enough to the house he drives home when he gets time off. Say the Fort Bragg is depressing when your not working so many people but your still alone even brings home a few other guys sometimes just so they can get away and they say the same thing. Kind of weird saying your alone surrounded by so many people. Oh I was working hard to keep my card table clean but as soon as it has room something gets put on it fast lol. Thanks for all the comments really happy with the way it turned out for the most part after seeing a few on here and talking to Dan and Doug I just had to try it out myself.
