    1. Tape up what you don't want painted.
    2. Spray paint it brown, tan, or green.
    3. Optional spray paint stripes and patterns of the same colors.
    4. Remove tape and enjoy shooting.

    I've painted a lot of rifles, you did a good job and gave good instruction. I really liked the split screen towards the end that showed you in street cloths w/ the black rifle vs. camo'd and geared up. Thanks for all your work man!

    • @Sagart999
      @Sagart999 9 месяцев назад +1

      A great practical application of the camo work, both the painting and the clothing. I also appreciated the heads up on the clothing company. No one wants to walk around like a mall commando, but being able to blend in lets a person chose his tactics in case of an "unplanned situation". And, as Travis pointed out, his choice of camo was driven by the environment, which for most of us includes buildings, streets, etc. Still looking for more "grey man" clothing options. Suggestions are always welcome.

    One thing I love that another channel said (it was either tactical rifleman or mike glover) is that they just kept some bottles of acrylic craft paint in their packs and basically finger painted their rifle to match their current environment. Acrylic craft paint doesn't hold up well at all but it doesn't really need to, you can just reapply as needed and if you need to you can scrub it off.

  • @fidel-3470
    @fidel-3470 11 месяцев назад +13

    Some important tips for everyone: repaint your rifle anytime you're going into a real world conflict to match the mission area you'll be working in. Don't be afraid to repaint to apply fall colors or spring colors or whatever works best. In addition, keep flat white paint around in storage for winter/snow - the spray paint can will stay good for years. Next, if working outside keep in mind that your paint is just a **base coat** you don't need tons of details. Again if you're doing this in the real world, you want to loop some rubber bands on your gun and attach living natural foliage and other 3D elements to break apart the outline (particularly over the top of your scope and your handguard, the highest points on your rifle when shooting prone.

    In contrast to what Travis said here, I have always had better luck using the light color as the base coat. Granted, the vegetation you spray on has an inverse look, but it doesn't actually affect the breakup of the gun. It's easier to make a gun darker. You'll spend more paint and effort trying to lighten the gun.

    Yup i dont plug the muzzle. No problems.

    Agreed, a little mist in there gets shot right out.
    I had a .308 bolt gun with a weird little burr in the barrel, right at the crown. I didn't want to but any abrasive on the rifling, so i just shot a few rounds. After about four rounds, you couldn't tell the it was ever there (even under magnification).
    Then i sighted it in, and it shoots great. Definitely more accurate than i am.
