I was my gunsmith yesterday and he showed me a ultralight 300 WSM with a carbon wrapped barrel and this exact Manners stock. It looked bad ***. Great camo breakup, yet shows the carbon fiber. I want one nowwhy not just do one like on the core or gap manners stock do a sponge camo
thanks guys! this is a manners stock and it has a clear 'gel-coat' type feel to it, so it does have something there besides just the bare weave. it is for a hunting application so i was thinking black, patriot brown/coyote brown, and OD green.
keep the pictures coming!
the problem is there are some issues in the gel-coat so its not the best up close. some cammo would hide it. its just part of the process according to them. i had to OK that before they would give me a clear one with no cammo. i did, since i planned on painting it.I would leave it alone it looks fantastic just as it is!!! People pay good money to have carbon fiber trim on their car so why hide it. It would be like asking about painting a Exhibition Grade Walnut or Maple stock!
I've been toying with this idea too...not on a CF, but a Chote stock.
My plan is to cut some stencils and air brush this pattern in various sizes all over the stock.
I drew a rough sketch of what I want to use....

It needs to be cleaned up a bit, but I think it would look pretty cool...
That looks really coolI use an air brush and now that cerakote makes a air cure it's easy. They have a decent selection of colors. I have done quite a few rifles. Prep is the biggest issue.
On plastic stocks I sand them, acetone clean, use a plastic primer, a texture if you want, paint, then clear.
