So I just got my stock back from Arma-Coat today. They did a great job, I can't wait to reach out and touch some paper with this bad boy!
So the battle rail and the USGI parts were installed buy Francisco at Omega Custom Guns. Turns out most of the after market American parts didn't just drop right in. So some machining was needed. Apparently this USGI fiberglas stock was originally done buy the M14 doctor. If thats true or not, I have no idea.
Here's a better shot of the paint job. I think it turned out pretty good. Apparently his coatings can take a beating as well. The inside of the stock was painted, and didn't get all scratched up when I installed the trigger group, as it was a tight fit.
You can kind of see here that he did some dark speckling on the lighter parts, and light speckling on the darker parts. I thought that was a nice added touch I wasn't expecting. Over all, I give it two trigger fingers up!! If you are thinking about painting a stock consider Arma-Coat if you don't want to do it yourself. The whole cost was around $300 including shipping both ways. (Toronto to Alberta and back) It also included the upper hand guard which isn't in any of the pictures, but looks just as good.
