Painted m14. Let's see some pics

[BadRonin]

I didn't paint this one but it's always been one of my favorite painted M14 pics

Precious....

Painting a rifle is a bit like getting a tattoo. Once you do it, there's just no going back.

And painting the scope... oh my god!

I'll admit they sure look cool, but short of war, I just cant bring myself to do it.

I mean... I kinda want to... but nope... cant.

(I did camo out a Mosin though, but it looked rough, so there was no downside.)

Not at all. Going back is easier than painting. Acetone & paper towel removes spray paint no problem. Took me maybe 15 minutes to strip the paint off a scope moving it between rifles, with no sign of paint anywhere.

A little late to the party, but thought I would jump in. This was my first attempt at the Krylon sponge paint method. So easy its not funny, and looks great IMHO (although the picture doesn't bring out the brown spots as well as in person).

Norcs are beaters to begin with, so it doesn't matter what you do to spruce them up. Grab rattle can and spray away! Your conscience will forgive you and perhaps it will even admire the work you did.

I've never thought of my Nork M1A as a beater but saying that, just because you paint it doesn't mean it can't go back to what it was. Sure it won't be exactly like it was originally but it will most definitely add character to it. Mine is stripped down ready for a acetone bath and then two tone of Cera coat.

What make/model of M-14 pattern rifle is yours?

A Norinco M-14s with a USGI fibreglass stock.

Seeing this thread and especially the Skullboy compilation has me wanting another if nothing more than to do the tweeks and paint it up.

Boredom. No thought. No prep. Just a can of dark green, and a can of flat black.

Put this in the battle rifle pictures thread but thought why not put it here too. Working up the nerve to paint the optic.
Lotsa prep and 3 different colours of krylon:

An EBR but an M14 none the less

 

[rugbydave]

^Your's? Nice rifle!

 

[Rossco66]

Yes it's mine but unfortunately this one is an airsoft rifle. 1:1 scale perfect for a PTW.
