My toz-78

I have been having fun playing around with my Toz-78 the the last couple months. Kind of an on-and-off project. I sanded the stock smooth and tried a candy apple red paint job, then went a totally different route and did the truck bed liner (matt black) paint. mounted a cheap scope, removed front and rear sights, free floated the barrel, polished bolt and all metal surfaces that made contact to one and other and I installed a muzzle break.

This was just another great learning experience.

***note***
the two last pictures are the final product, the paint still looks a little shinny but will be a nice flat black once fully cured.

Nice! How durable is that bed liner paint?

\What is the muzzle break you used? Much difference with it?

I used http://www.duplicolor.com/products/truckbed.html in a can, "Dupli-Color® Truck Bed Coating is a durable, non-skid coating that protects truck beds from impact, scratches, weather and rust." I think it'll hold up nicely on a stock.

I used a muzzle break from a Beeman air rifle. It serves an esthetic purpose only, once I removed the front iron sight i had to cover up the groove that was left behind.

can the bedliner be painted to a different color afterwards?

I believe it can.
