Pictures of your self Camo Rifles

[dkrhome]

Hi everyone,

I was looking at some of the camo options out there for my rifle. I saw the dipit system, but I have heard of guys just buying a few colors of paint and doing it themselves.

Can someone of you list your custom paint jobs.

Thanks much

Not realy cammo, but I think it looks cool.

That's nice! Someday perhaps I'll have enough rifles to designate one "my winter rifle".

I think you can see the barrel better in this one.

I'm going to try digital camo on my 17. I'm going to use krylon paint, 3 or 4 colors. There are some great how to's on the net. I want to try it out on my 17 first before I do it on my more expensive rifles. Basically, rough up the stock a bit with some steel wool, to give the primer/base coat somthing to stick to. Then lay on your color/colors. I'll post a pic when done. Ihave seen the dipit kits, but can't stand the feel of it. To smooth feeling for me, feels like pop bottle. And the coating scratches very easy I find, can peel it back with my finger nail. At least with paint, can just touch up all the battle scars!!

No whitetails with it but a lot of coyotes. I do have an old Vanguard I'm eyeing for my next Foose rifle

Yah i used krylon on it, and let it cure for a week or so, then a few layers of Krylon ultra flat clear coat and it is a real tough finish.

Nothing special, but just an idea I used:

I quite like this one.

I like the white too, but I want it with some color.

I have the 6.5x55 Tikka synth and I just want to make it look nicer.

Thanks

This one was experimental winter camo on an air rifle.



This one is my .223 yote gun



This one is a Stevens 200 plastic stock, using a combo including Krylon spiderwebbing paint.




Although not camo, this is was my .308 bench rifle - "spidey"



This one, I did for gramps.
