Title: Camo Rifles?
Post by: StanwoodSpartan on May 21, 2009, 12:18:22 PM: How many of you have either had your rifles professionally camo painted or wrapped, and how many of you have done it yourself? I'm looking into getting mine done, probably homemade. Anbody have pics of theirs?

We just did it the old fashioned way; bought some decent quality spray paint, gave it a base coat, then started laying vegetation on it and overspraying. Turned out OK. I made him the ghillie suit about the same time.
I have a better picture of the gun with his buck last year, but it's not on this computer.

But it is not uncommon for people to do the camo themselves. Varmint Al descibes doing it (as have others on this forum, as noted above. Go for it!
