Looks cool!
Did you not like the original grey spider web pattern of the Accumark?
Did you sand the original paint off?

Yeah the old grey stock was getting beat up and every where I went with it everyone knew what it was just by the stock. Now I have a one of a kind that will keep the guys at the range guessing what fancy new gun the young guy has.

I like the paint. I also like the blued action with the stainless rings and black scope combo. I wondered about that for awhile but have never done it.

What sealer did you use? I airbrushed a few guns and the flat clear coat I use just doesn't cut it for protection. Need something tougher. Any suggestions? Thanks Whitey

Good job.

I'm in the process of wrecking a rifle with paint right now (mostly because I can't stand to leave things alone).

I was wondering about the sealant issue a bit as well. Anything out there that stands up well to oils/cleaning solvents? I'm not too worried about scratches and dings.

Just take your time when you clean your gun a cover the stock with rags and stuff. Problem solved...
