Painted rifles

jblomenburg, is it safe to say you're a lefty!?!

Actually I'm a righty. I'm guessing you say that based on my light on my SBR. I mounted it low like that on the right for 2 reasons.

1...with the way I have my sling mounted on the left side of the gun, and the Troy from BUIS, there isn't a lot of room for the light in the high and right position that I typically run on my 16" uppers.

2...with the shorter barrel I actually try to fully wrap the vertical grip so I keep my hand away from the muzzle. That puts my thumb right on the back of the flashlight.

Totally makes sense, it was the light in combination with the ambi safety that got me wondering.

Here's a savage Axis I duracoated for a buddy, in kind of a wetlands grass camo.

Here's a few I painted back when I was doing it.

I just painted my rifle today,i was looking to go tan for fall and winter.I have never painted a rifle in my life,so am a little nervous.I used rustoleum spray that is called STONE TEXTURED so I could get a textured finish for a better grip.I am letting it dry as I type this.Its looking excellent so far, Its something you might want to try out, going to put possibly flat brown camo spray paint on it to break it up a little.The rifle is a ruger american with a synthetic stock.Saw this posting so I thought I would throw this in.Just something to consider.

Phylo...awesome work on those two precision rigs (the shorty is good too). I assume that was done with an air brush to get the nice black highlights around the color patterns?

 

[phylodog]

You are correct, they were both done with Duracoat and an airbrush.
