Would seem a lot easier to me to just send it to NW Hydrprint and have it dipped?  :dunno: it's not expensive and in less time you can have a professional looking pattern  :twocents:

No  :) but it's not expensive ... btw I didn't mean yours didn't look good because for a home paint job it's excellent. You just seemed to be looking for an upgraded improvement. IMO the next step up would be getting it professionally dipped   ;)

I'm sure that would look really good if I wanted to pay for it ,i just have a hard time paying for something that I can do myself.thank you for the comments I was thinking about hdro dipping it my self but cold weather might affect it.

I don't know what that means but if you're refering to the patern, it was a random rope and tape job with predator camo colors in mind. Looks great in the woods. Better than trying to blend in with a big black stick I guess.

Sorry

It reminded me of the way they painted the FN-FAL'S  and G3's during the Bush War late 60's 70's
