My New Stevens

JeffR said:
So I sanded the stock down, painted it, lightened the trigger. Now I just need to scope it and it is off to the range.

Here is the new paint job

How much would you want for painting my stock? And yes im serious.
 
Fantastic job Jeff! Guess I know what I'll be doing to my stock now.
Does krylon make a camo paint, or is this the "plastic" that they sell?
 
They make a series called Camoflage paints. They come in black, brown, olive green and tan. I didn't bother with the black, just used the other three.

They also make a webbing paint that some CGNers have used for their stocks, but I went to 3 Canadian Tires, Home Depot, Rona, and a craft store and could find that stuff anywhere.

I also did the same thing to some homemade shooting sticks a couple of months ago, but I used leaves and twigs for the stencils. I think using the ceader boughs worked a lot better. Using larger leaves made the paint job seem blockier, and the lines between the colors seemed more abrupt. The smaller ceader branches worked great.
 
Camo on Stevens stock.

Hi JeffR,

That is some awesome job you did on that Stevens.
I really like that camo.

I have a Browning ABolt, 270, stainless stalker,
and am now tempted to paint that black stock.

Just bought a mod 200 in 243. How did you lighten the trigger? I'm assuming you filed the contact point/sear? It's even but it's quite heavy. And now I have to paint my stock too, ....son of a.....
 
You don't file sears, you stone them.

Really, if you don't know how to do this, you should take your rifle to a gunsmith to have this done.

In the case of the Stevens 200, you probaly won't need to touch the sear, as the trigger is factory adjustable. :cool:
