Thank you! I love the camo'd Wingmaster in the pic as well.Ooo, your 870 has real nice wood! I got lucky with mine, I found a Wingmaster in a pawnshop for $325, and told the guy, hey what's with that? I can go right over to Kmart and get an 870 brand new for $189...so he said, ok 189. So I bought it, A Wingmaster! But I scarred it up hunting one day. I was making my way down a frozen creek in the rocky mountains and my feet slipped out from under me and it went flying, skating down the frozen rocks, lol. It's funny now but wasn't then.
So I bought a police trade in barrel 18" with a bead for it and had both barrels and the gun anodized gun metal grey and then I camo'd the wood instead of refinishing it. Then added the sidesaddle and extended mag and all that and it was real versatile then. and totally weatherproof with that anodizing. No wait, not anodized...something else...real tough finish. Dang I forget the name of it right now. Brain fart, lol.
Aha! I remember! it was Powdercoated gun metal grey!

I would like to camo my Mossberg 715T one day, but have no idea how to go about doing it lol.
Thanks for the tips! I should probably practice before hand yeah, lol; it might be best to wait until the Summer though to start painting. Btw, painting your gun won't cause it become more susceptible to jamming or anything?It was pretty easy once I got the hang of it. I did it maybe 3 or 4 times, lol. You pick your colors based mostly on your surrounding area that you live in. I gave it a base coat of green and then wasted a bunch of time, paint and effort, cutting odd designs out of manila folders to use to paint with. Next time, I'll forgo all that and just pick a selection of green leaves from the area! (Ding!).
and you lay your template (or leaf) up against the stock and paint. Keep switching colors and so forth. A big tip is, try not to go too fast or get too much coverage too soon. The drips and runs are a pita, lol. I never have been a painter but I taught myself a lot doing that stock. I finally got it looking even better than in the picture by using leaves. That looks super cool.
after you're done with your camo job, you subdue it with black paint. This is done by holding the can wayy back so it just speckles the stock. Do that a couple times and let it dry in between and it should come out looking great.
Practice on a piece of wood before attacking the stock. Unlike me! Lol

Oh okay, that's good to know, thank you. =)Well I only painted the wood stock and I took it all apart to do that.
When I got it powdercoated, he wanted me to bring it to him disassembled and taped off so the powdercoating wouldn't get on the inside. I did, but that was my first experience in doing that and a bunch of it did get inside. I couldn't even get the bolt back into it. I spent quite awhile polishing it out of the inside of the receiver. But i did, and eventually it got that buttery smooth action again and works fine. It looks real good and works good. I guess it's rust-proof now because of the powder coat. Except inside.
Btw, I love the handguns at the top-left and bottom-center. What kind are those, if you don't mind me asking?

I'd like to get a handgun for self defense one day, but it would probably just be something standard. Perhaps like a Glock or something like that.
That's so cool!A Spanish American war modified rifle. Originally had been a muzzle loader, but was modified to use field packed cartridges.

I've done a few of my weapons in my own style of cam, and a couple of turkey shotguns for friends. I just use regular Krylon camo paint and leaves off of area trees.
My first attempt was my AR15 coyote gun...

Still have one, and my wife still shoots it! Bought new in the '70 for coon hunting at night; with a Tasco 6 X on it; 10s of 1000s of rounds throug it. Very accurate still!A Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle.
Those look better than mine. Wow, good job man. That's a sweet rifle.
Thanks! It all depends on what style of camo you prefer.
When I moved to Arizona, I started modifying the coyote gun into more of a prepper battle rifle and updated the camo to reflect the lighter desert terrain...

And just for grins, the last gun I painted was my Glock G29 that I used for woods carry...
