Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk My new Marlin

Recently picked up an XS7 in .243. I needed a light hunting rifle that my recoil sensitive wife could shoot if she wanted too.

I'm pleased with the way it shoots, but wasn't pleased with the plain jane black stock. So I decided to do something about it. Did some looking around at techniques and settled on Krylon Fusion camo paint, and Krylon webbing paint.

This is the stock with 3 coats of Krylon khaki Camo paint...





This is the stock with the Webbing paint applied, and 3 coats of matte finish to protect it, and dull the Webbing paint (which is gloss)...





And here is the finished rifle reassembled...

I like that.

It looks far better than typical black. You did a nice job! Congrats!

Thanks.

That looks great! You're a better painter than I - I tried to do a webbing job on a stock and completely hosed it. Way to go!

The webbing paint is a real pain to work with.

Looks great and I would like to try it.

Which Krylon webbing paint did you use. Do you have that item #. Also the 3 coats of matte finish to protect it. Was that a Krylon product also and do you have that product #..
Thanks

Thanks
