Darren,
I've been using Duracoat for about 10 years, mainly on my own firearms, but, on occasion I'll paint one for a friend. I must say you definitely have an eye for combining the colors and producing a pattern mix that is simply astonishing. I know how hard that stuff is to mix together colors and use a template (theirs or a custom you make). You do beautiful work. I've got a McMillan A3 stock that my Springfield M21 is in that I'm going to paint...I just haven't decided to if I wanted to do something like your shadow grass or be lazy and go with a flat 'camo' color.

Sorry for the delay - I've been on vacation for the last couple of weeks. The rifle has a Defiance Sheep Hunter action, McMillan Classic Edge fill stock with ADL trigger guard and a 23" Broughton #3 barrel. 6lbs, 10.4 oz with rings alone (so roughly 7lbs, 13 oz with the scope) And a personal one- my GAP non-typical hunter in 6.5x47l with a McMillan Classic edge repaint we in ATAC camo Awesome rifle darren and enjoying your paint job pics as well. Might you share the specs of that build like barrel contour, action, and total weight? Thanks!

I sure wish you'd do a multicam and a Gap camo so I can decide which way to go on the next one. Sigh....

I sent Darren another stock for a SS barreled action. Going to try a shadowgrass pattern in black, light gray, dark gray. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I want to thank everyone who has let me paint their stocks for them. The support has been awesome, and I've had the opportunity to work on a number of great projects.
I have come to the conclusion that this endeavor consumes more time than I want to give up from my family. I have 3 young sons who deserve my attention, and while I love the results of my painting, no amount of enjoyment that I get from this compares to what they provide.
I am in the process of finishing the remaining stocks I have on hand, and will honor all commitments made for future projects as well, but at this time will not be taking on any new work.
If you are interested in me painting a stock for you, please still feel free to contact me and ask - depending on the project and where life finds me, I may still choose to take it on.
