Probably not gunsmithing?

[70oldsracer]

I know this might not be a gunsmithing question, but I wasn't sure where else to post this. Does anyone know of a gray webbing spray paint? I have white and black, but I can't find gray. Thanks.

I've only found black, white and gold.

 

[70oldsracer]

Yeah, me too. I did the white and the black already. I was hoping to find a gray.

 

[adam32]

Actually I forgot I found silver...

 

[70oldsracer]

Actually silver doesn't look bad, is that the Krylon silver shiver?

Darn you guys! Now I have to learn to do this Great thread

It's not hard at all, the webbing comes out of the can like silly string. I lay my stocks horizontally and just let the webbing fall on it. As you do it, you'll figure out how far away you need to be from the stock to get your desired pattern. Just try it on a piece of 2x4 first to see what it's all about. Depending on the Look I'm going for, I use either a matte or satin clear coat after the webbing has dried for a few days.

I just "upgraded" a tikka stock and might try this. An epoxy clear would make it bulletproof

I just had my Tikka on the bench, new scope, trigger spring and recoil pad. I'm thinking about getting a new stock too, but might just go with a Bell and Carlson in gray with black webbing. What stock did you upgrade?

What stock did you upgrade?

I used the old stock. Machined some aluminum pillars, rebedded, added steel recoil lug I made, filled barrel channel with galvanized 1/2 pipe and epoxy fill with microspheres. I'll do the writeup and videos later, if anyone is interested. Weighs in at 35oz. It isn't a manners, but we'll know the next time I take it out to the range if it was worth it.

Just finished my Stockys stock for my 270 Remington 700.

What epoxy clear were you thinking about?

I either roll on 2 part epoxy or use some automotive stuff I have left over. Run a bit of scotchbright over it to make it mat
