Alan Clark 7 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 You have a few different options depending on how permanent you want the covering to be. 1 - Make a cover from camouflaged material, it will need to be in at least 2 pieces and designed not to get in the way of the breach etc. You'll probably need a sewing machine for this. 2 - Buy a cover, usually only for things such as the moderator and made of neoprene. 3 - Buy camouflage tape and put that all over, but if this gets wet and stays wet then you can have corrosion problems. 4 - Paint the rifle with various stencils to get the desired effect. Think 'Shooter' where he spray paints a rifle using a fern as the stencil. But if you don't like the colour scheme after six months it won't be easy to reverse. Also you will need to do a fair bit of prep work to get the paint to adhere to the metal parts. 1 Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 alan has outlined many things you can do but if you still want to paint it then there are many places that will do it for you. hydrographics looks AWESOME!!! but the prices go into 100's. http://www.staffs-synthetic-stocks.co.uk/custom.shtml these guys are slightly cheaper. or you can paint it yourself which is a far cheaper and if done right much more effective. you can go to your permissions and collect the most common leaves and plenty of long grass aand use them as stencils. you can also customize your colours to suit your permission. this guy did a video tutourial and nthis was the end result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl_mAoMn2eM&playnext=1&videos=_tqPCiShWJ8 Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'm with Stealthy on that You can buy realtree gun socks that cover the gun but if you really want a pretty good CUSTOM job, then Paddy from the UBC is the man to see http://www.pad-e.btik.com/p_Home.ikml He's been doing em for years and they are all one of a kind jobs. He's not out to make a fortune either Tell him Tony sent you if you make enquiries Phantom 1 Quote Link to post
