Cool looking gun. Good job!!! What paint did you use? Thanks. Rattle can, camo paint from Wally World. I'll have to upload some pics of my personal gun. I've hunted with it for 5 years. Painted it the same way as this gun, and it has held up well. The biggest thing is to sand down the gun to remove the terrible Remington bluing or to rough up your synthetic stocks, remove all dirt and grease, and prime the gun. After the initial prime, I sand again with a really low grit sand paper to smooth the finish, clean it again, and re-prime. Once the gun is primed, camo is the easy part.

'ppreciate it. Looks like I'm about to do another one for a close friend. Guy is actually lucky to still be with us. During a sleep study, they found an irregular heart beat. Until the cardiologist could look at the data, they put a life vest on him. Almost a year to the day we were out hunting and he had a heart attack. I stared death in the eye that day. Such a helpless feeling, but the life vest saved him. He ended up having open heart surgery and 4 bypasses put in. Oklahoma Department of Wildlife did a story on him. I'll have to see if I can find it. Thinking instead of turkey tracks I'll use a life like heart stencil on his gun.

When you paint the next one, take a bunch of pictures and do a long healthy write up with it and maybe even a YouTube vid for us please. Your paint jobs look great. I'd like to try it on mine, but I'm nervous.

Camp is where you make it.
