Say it with Krylon... They make some great camo colors.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

Here's one I textured with Marine Tex and then painted with Krylon Fusion for my son's 30 naught 6. Seems durable enough:

Krylon webbing spray. I've only found two colors, silver and black.

Bell and Carlson Creative Effects system.. ran me $65 plus shipping a couple of years ago on my Howa 1500. Really like the result, and they have several patterns to choose from. Before and after pic..

Karnis,
I'm a newbie to this so bear with me. Do you start with spraying marine tex, then krylon satin hunter green, hit it with webbing spray and seal with ? By the way, looks fantastic!

Texture with Marine Tex and a stiff small cell sponge of some type. I actually used the packing from a TSX bullet box. Mix it up and start where ever you like I usually start from the recoil pad forward. Work relatively quickly as the MT will change texture fairly rapidly. After your done the MT will be tacky, that's when I spray the stock with the Krylon. It will take a few days to cure, then hit it lightly with webbing spray and you're done. No clear coat needed in my experience.

Karnis ... that's brilliant the way you use a very light coating of MT to texture the entire stock, and then quickly spray the base coat of the paint to the MT so that they "fuse" together and become one ... Can't think of a better way to insure that the paint job sticks and stays to the stock ...
whoever said it earlier was right ... you missed your calling ... or at least one of them ...

A few more questions if you don't mind: Will Marine Tex stick to a Rem Syn plastic stock? Which Marine Tex product are you using? Thank You

It will stick, but you need to scratch the stock down with 320 or so sand paper, then "degrease" it, i.e. clean it with alcohol and don't leave any paw prints. I use surgical gloves to handle the stock so no stray "oil" gets anywhere. BTW, all of this may sound complicated but it's not difficult and quite easy to repair if'in you ding the stock, etc. If the texturing is a bit rough in places, you can sand it down a bit. Pointy MT on the cheekpiece might remove a few patches o'shhkinn. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Google up Marine-Tex, I use the gray which is the same material I use for bedding/repairing/reshaping synthetics (palm swells, comb height, etc.) works great. Here's are a couple of others I've done: 6.5x64 Brown Precision: 7x64 Brenneke-Brown Precision: 7x57 Mtn Rifle- Ti stock:
