Easy camo job
 

I decided to do a DIY camo job on my wood stocked Savage Mark II .22 lr. Just something to docwhile stu k at home. Project only took me ablout 3 days on and off.
you can see I removed the red dot and put a scope on it. Don't know why the pic came upside down!

Looks good. What did you use?

Rustoleum Camo paint in gray for base, some matte black for the lines and green and black for the spots. For the spots you use a natural sponge and rip it apart to give you different patterns. Jusgt spray a puddle on a piece of cardboard and dip the sponge piece in it and dab it on the stock randomly. Next one I do I'm going to add a mud brown color to it.
After its to your liking you protect it with a couple coats of matte finish polyurethane.

Looks nice
I am guessing you only did the stock? just be careful as a lot of gun solvents will remove the paint off things, so a heads up!
and
there are some better things now in a rattle can that are more resistant for coating guns, and made just for them, Duracoat is one of them
just saying, in case anyone wishes to see tings

My preferred choice is to go with matched accessories.

This is another very cheap option that works well, and is really fast and easy to switch up as you change environments. It also gives you a nice warm grip in the winter, or a cool grip in the summer. Also, if you get injured you can use it to wrap your wound (with a dressing underneath, obviously), or wrap a twisted joint/ankle/knee.

Coban camo medical wrap. It's about a buck a roll on ebay and comes in several patterns.

Thanks for the heads up MRBB. The nice part about this though is it really doesn't matter because I can just dab on more if needed. I thing the Polyurethane will give pretty good protection from most solvents that I use anyway.
This is the second stock I've done. I previously did my Savage 93 .17 HMR very similar. I think I will be doing the stock on my Tikka T3 next.

That is the advantage of rattle canning. You can just rattle can some more as needed.

I wasn't satisfied with the job so i put some earth tone brown on it and 2 more coats of poly. I like it much better now.

again looks great and I like the non upside down pic's better too LOL

I couldn't stand it. I also did the stock on Tikka T3. That too came out nice but that action fits so tight in the stock that I was sure to mask the barrel channel before painting.

funny how, one project leads to another, and having time on your hands leads to thinking about things too much that creates all sorts of NEW projects and TOO DO lists! HAHA!

I had a leaky Hose Bibb here at my hunting property, I decided to replace it, then said, well, maybe I should add a frost free set up, so got to play with solder and cut some pipe!
then hooked hose up, and said, I hate this hose, (kinks like mad)so, went and got a new hose, then nozzle/gun, ( your lucky if you get a yr or two out of one here with the high mineral content waters here)
hooked that to hose and it didn';t work right
so, off to get a new one of them too! (this one was new last FALL????)
and , while getting new nozzle, seen a real nice hose reel, at store , so grabbed that too
My 10 dollar simple project , soon ran me a LOT More $$ and work!

but it did pass the time! and is a better set up now! HAHA!

but I get how projects grow some times!

I have a bunch of projects to do at our cabin too. I'll have to give some of the guys a call and see if they want to come help out. If not it will be just me and my cousin. The trouble with scheduling something up here is that you never know what the weather is going to be like.

Where are you at Bronko? I'm in the poconos. Based on your location tag i'm guessing you're pretty close.
