Have any of you guys sent off your stocks to have them camoed. I have a synthetic stock that I would like to have done, with out buying a new stock. Who would you recommend for tis?? Thanks

You know red dot, with one of the camo spray kits from Brownell's it only takes about 20 minutes to do it yourself. A kit will last for two or three years depending upon how rough you treat a rifle and the results are excellent and cost is nil.

I've several friends whom are dedicated yote hunters. They mask off the scope lens and spray a whole rifle, barrel, action and scope. If during the season they get a little rub wear they will touch it up.

Personnely I just don't want to spray paint a rifle, but's that's just me. The folks whom believe they need a camo rifle look on it as a tool and the camo makes it a more effective tool.

Only camo gun I own is a Mossberg 835 that came that way. I've got to admit It's a nice looking gun. I'm kinda afraid to set it down in the woods though, might never find it again.

Bob,

D&%$ straight!! I can't even find myself in the woods if I wear camo clothing!! :-)

And, you're absolutely right about the camo kits from Brownells (or elsewhere). There is NOTHING magic about creating a camo pattern on a rifle stock. Don't let anyone fool you about that.

Get the kit, lay out your pattern, draw around your stock on a large piece of paper with a magic marker (old newspaper or an opened-up grocery sack), and give it a shot. Heck, you can probably buy the spray paint cans at MalWort or some other place.

I just sprayed 2 of my synthetic stocks with Krylon Fusion paint. Supposedly it is made for plastic. I used the textured formula, then painted one black and one olive over the texture with Krylon camo paint. On the black one, I misted it with a dark gray from about 2 feet away-kind of like a cheap version of the spiderweb pattern of HS Presicion!! I also took the time to sand off the mold marks to make them dissappear. The texture will make it easy to hold on to.

moe show us a pix of those stocks if you can. I'd like to see how they came out.

This is my Mossberg turkey gun. I wear some camo when I'm calling yotes and turkeys in the spring, but have found that you could hunt yotes with a striped prison outfit and it wouldn't make a lot of difference if you just stay still.

here's one for ya;

It's a Baikal model 18sumthin, that I was given by a dealer I know who could not sell the darn thing for love-nor-money.

It's a 12 ga. full choke, 28" barrelled single that is as cheezy as they come. The stock was made of something that resembles pine [!!!!] and proceeded to crack after 100 shots.... Gen-U-Whine Rusky kwalitee:rolleyes:

Anywhoo, I filled the crack with Gorilla glue, and it looked hideous, so off to the local hardware store. A can of grey-green, some primer grey and flat black created this camo pattern. I had no set template, just did my best Piccaso!!!!:D

I'll attempt at some pictures:

VZ-24 in 338-06 with a $50 Corelite stock. After painting, it looks more like a $60 stock!! Krylon OD camo. Thinking about misting this one with black.

Here is a closeup of the stock to see the texture.

Remington 721 in 300 H&H. This is a takeoff from a M700 BDL. I had to Acraglas around the bolt handle notch to straighten out the curved handle channel for the straight 721 handle. Looks pretty good. Crylon Ultra flat black w/gray overspray. Wally world was out of the semi-flat black.

Not too good closeup of the 721 stock to show the gray overspray. From a few feet is looks like the whole thing is a medium gray, but when you get close you can see the gray "dots". I tried to find a spray nozzle that was used so it would not make such a fine spray, but didn't have one.

I have a feeling they both will be susceptible to nicks and wear along sharp edges, but as long as Krylon makes paint, touch up will be no problem!!

I think you did a fine job. That 300 H&H makes a dandy elk and deer gun at least out west here. Very slick.
