Hey all, hopefully this is an appropriate first post. I’ve sent my CLR to Mr Forbes to have his treatment done to it. I’m off to choose a color and have seen CL camo pop up but pictures from old posts are missing or too small to get a good visual. Any one have any good pictures? And while we’re at it feel free post up a picture of your NULA/ULA/“melvinized” CLR’s!

melvins new painter doesnt do the cl camo of old from what i got from him

there is a 257 weatherby in a colt or ula rifle on here that has the new version

Darn, got a picture of yours with the new offering? I’ll dig around for that one in 257

This is the only one you need to know.

Agree!!!

This is where that Like button would be handy!

I'm partial to this pattern

honestly I went back and forth over that woodland stripe, I gotta admit I like it because for me it’s synonymous with ULA but at the same time, I don’t actually like it. LOL

That’s a good one too

When Melvin redid my Forbes LH in 280 AI I chose this paint it was not done in house.

Looks familiar.

Pardon my ignorance - what is “CL camo”? Camo leaf?

I was wondering that myself, that sorta makes sense, the gentleman working with Melvin told me it was a maple and oak leaf pattern

OK.
I’m familiar with that one.

assuming canadian leaf camo but the rendition above doesnt match the latest version i have of it...

Here is a m24 Melvin did for me last year. I’m very happy with how it came out.

I like that pattern, turned out fantastic.

Posting a few from gene270:
Black and black webbing

Dark gray with white and black webbing

What gene270 got recently as CL camo

The maple leaf and the fern patterns have always been a favorite of mine. I've had both and liked that they let you pick the colors to use on them. I'm not a "camo" guy but really like those two.

That said, all I have left now are a solid black and a brown with black stripes. The stripes are almost a NULA trademark.

Considering I originally wanted to keep the rifle black, I do like that black in black webbing

yeah the black stock and the black webbing for grip....mine just needed a little more texture on the webbing for a better grip

Here's one I got back from Melvin middle of last year. Also have one with classic woodland stripe pattern.

I like the colors of that one

Thanks. I told Melvin I was going to hunt this one mostly in pines and thicket and to surprise me. So there's the reason for the green camo.

I think this is the fern pattern? (lefty 243)

And my favorite camo LOL. (lefty 300wsm)

My new 284Win NULA.

Melvin sold NULA to Wilson Combat and announced he is retiring.

Dig that red pad! Sharp!

Thanks. This is one of Melvins rifles that he and a Zach are putting the final touches on for me.

I have one more CLR to have done, hope he sticks around for another little while

If you send it soon he may as they’re still in a transition period of sorts but not sure when the acquisition will be complete. Melvin and Zach the gentleman working there are currently still answering their phones.

I wish I could figure out how to paint that.

There are other threads on the topic of the sale that spell all of this out.

Oakster since Ed just wanted to be rude and not answer your question I will. You can still get your CLR worked on by Mr Forbes and his employees. I hope this helps.

Ed just hangs around to be a salty bitch

That my favorite have one in 30-06 I will be listing for sale shortly

I would love to purchase it. Dm me if you don’t mind.

Lol. Since nothing is being advertised for sale you may be more specific.

I stand corrected.
