Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Stock Painting

Beautiful work. I'd love to have you do a stock for me.

Just got a Montana stock done by Darren. Great job and just what I wanted. He even ran home to get it at 6:00 a.m. this morning cause I was gonna be doing some work nearby! Seriously good guy that does great work. Trying to decide what color/pattern for the next one is the hardest part.

Stock color on left for comparison.

What color is that? OD?

Yes, that was just straight OD green

A few more from this weekend:
X-Bolt stock for Bighorn in a light brown with black specs




OD, Tan and Black splotch camo for Rubberduck270




A Couple Tikka stocks for JerradPelzer
First Up is a Custom Mix Tan/FDE with Beige and Desert Brown Specs to very closely match Manners Desert Hunter


I also textured the grip and forearm on this one

A Tan, Brown and Black grass camo




Finally, a couple stocks for EHG. First up is a McMillan Hunters Edge that I textured the grip and forearm on, added flush cups, and then painted to try and match ATAC AU








And lastly a Kimber Montana stock. I added flush cups and painted this on to mimic ATAC FG

That is some nice work

Any webbing?? Great work!

Nice work! Awesome camo combinations.

Would fleck paint like the Woodland look right on a "checkered" stock like a Remington Sporter McMillan?

I've done some krylon webbing, but don't like its level of duability when compared to the duracoat. I can clear coat over it to provide some protection

It can look just fine. The camo tends to make the checkering less noticeable visually

I have a manners eh3 and a McM remington sporter on order. Think the checkering on both looks kinda cheesy. Perhaps a nice fleck would make things good.

Bump. Great stuff!

Darren I have my Tikka stock I'm fixing to ship to you w/instructions. powdr

Darren,

My stock looks better up close than in the pics! Great work and thanks.

I really like the texture the paint gives it- did you add some texturing, or is that the paint's natural feel?

Darren,

out of curiosity, how many ounces dies a complete duracoat job add to the typical stripped stock?

Didn't know if you've ever checked that for knowledge sake

Wanted to compare to my results hacking it out here.

Good to hear you like it. That texture is mostly due to the flat paint I used- it certainly does have that slight feel to it.

I have not actually weighed it. As far as volume is concerned, I use slightly more than 3 tablespoons of paint for a typical job. If that was water, that would equate to 1.5 ounces. The paint is slightly heavier, but I know I lose some in overspray, so I would guess the added weight is about that- 1.5 ounces
