For a while I’ve been thinking of how I’d like to camouflage my rifle.
I’ve looked at lots of great paint jobs on gun sights, but I didn’t want to do anything that would prevent me from converting my M14S back to stock.
I’m sure a few of you other guys have considered this too, especially the vintage models. Ones you put paint on your rifle there’s no turning back.
So after looking around and see what’s out there in the market I decided to do something different? I decided to go with Mossy Oak Graphics (http://www.mossyoakgraphics.com/), a company that supply vinyl graphic for hunting rifles and more. After reading about there product and finding out it is easy to apply and you can also remove it without any issues, I went for it.
So I went ahead and ordered the Treestand Rifle Kit Mossy Oak® Camo Skin and got it done.
Step 1: Disassemble your rifle
Step 2: Clean all the parts you wish to cover with a degreaser and oil remover. I used rubbing alcohol.
Step 3: After letting dry you can start applying the pre-cut pieces. I would start with the butt.
Step 4: Slowly work the vinyl down and you can use a hair dryer or a heat gun to make the vinyl more pliable.
Step 5: trim off any excessive material.
Then just take your time and work your way over the stock doing one section at a time. It took me a little over an hour to cover the stock. After I finished applying the graphics and trimming, I went over the entire stock with heat to set the graphics. The video’s on there sight are super helpful and I’m happy with the end result.
So here you go the finished product, one M14S in Treestand Camo.
