Paint the Mashburn contest.

When you start putting some animals on the ground with Frankenstein, then you can poke fun .

Miss any coyotes lately

 

[crazy_davey]

stick to the neutral colors and please avoid the "webbing". It's been done to death.

Agreed!

Regardless of how it ends up, I always enjoy seeing Chuck's rifles.

Myself, I'd leave it as it unless you Gunkoted the metal for contrast, but yes keep the colors neutral.

Forgot to mention that it is 7lbs 14ozs.

My vote goes to the black and white water transfer skull print. That would look way killer! I'll try and find a pic of one I saw a while ago.
Nice rifle btw. Except its backwards .....

Black & Yellow pinstripes...
Why is there a thread on what color should I paint my gun?

 

[chuck nelson]

The same reason that there is threads on which is better. The 270 or the 30-06. Or I'll never stop a charging bear, but if I do.........

Because everyone is still bored with bear defense threads.

Sorry to hear everything in your life is black and white...

To my eyes the red pad commits you to brown of some sort.

I think you should try hydro dipping it wood grained. I've thought about it but haven't, and that rifle would be a good guinea pig, oops I mean a good candidate.

Who did the work?

That gun looks great as-is. The dual dovetail scope mounts have a beautiful clean look. Is that a carbon fibre stock?

I wouldn't do anything other than painting the inside of the bolt-handle cutout. I think that it also needs a black pad rather than red.

I'm inclined to agree with the above.

It looks classy as is.

I like those red pads. Once they get used and a bit dirty, they aren't so bright & reddish. Very olde school!

[archie_james_c]

Leave it alone Chuck! Bare cloth looks great. Kind of a funky new age twist to an old ass action

 

[two-dogs]

I think it needs a paint job, too. I'd go a dark green as the base color with some brown and some black in it. I had a Remington M-7 Custom KS many moons ago, with something similiar in those colors skeems. I sure do kick my own hiney for letting that lil gal go!

 

[dead meat]

As i see it two choices, leave it as is or go the circus wagon paint scheme.

[gunsmith1951]

If you choose the wrong color it will ruin accuracy, leave it as is.

 

[jeff270]

how about a snakeskin pattern green\tan

 

[lonely_wolf]

I vote leave it bare and switch the butt pad. It's pretty rare to see an unpainted Edge.

Funny I found this thread as I've been back and forth on calling McMillan and saying forget the paint...
