New paint!

[mrmarmota]

Well done mao. That's very unique .Did you spray on a protective clear coat?

Well, I happened upon a great deal on a Mcmillan prone stock on eBay a couple of weeks ago, so I snagged it up. It was in a somewhat rough shape, some nicks and dings here and there, and the original camo paint job from Mcmillan was looking pretty grungy. So, I spent a refinishing it. Roughed it up with some scotchbrite, 5 coats of rustoleum automotive gloss black. Then sponged on the Estes model paint in destroyer gray and a custom mix of brass and gloss black. I love the way it turned out. I put my Nesika FTR rifle in it and shot it. She shoots wonderfully in her new stock and I must say it is quite comfortable with all of the adjustments! The group was shot at 100 yards. There are 6 shots on the target. I shot an extra after the marked flier. I knew I had changed my hold when I broke the shot, and sure enough, the shot went out of the group. Enjoy the eye-candy!View attachment 1079133 View attachment 1079134 View attachment 1079135 View attachment 1079136

Did you clear coat it? Going to try and do one

I have not, though I probably should.

If you decide to clear coat it, consider a 2 part spray in a can. It has an activator in the bottom. I got mine from Eastwood. I used a matt finish. Seems pretty tough.
