+1 on the CADPAT TW. Works great for me. Of course, I live in Canadian temperate woodlands, so YMMV .

i think real tree is a bit beyond my stenciling abilities

I like the camo me and Thomas use ...
very very simple to apply, and it looks way better than most more complicated [ and expensive ] paint schemes. I get a lot of compliments at gun shows on my cammo gun stocks, and believe me, it is dead easy to do.

step one: Flat black/ dark (forest) green/ KRYLON over the flat brown already on the GI glass stocks, applied with diagonal bands

step 2: lay a bunch of tropical ferns, branches and leaves on the DRY painted stock. This is the REVERSE Template of what will show after you paint over. E if you want GREEN leaves and BROWN branches, stack the leaves and branches over the appropriate colors

step 3: apply light misting coats from a bit further back of some lighter colors. Khaki, grey, and tan are good here. Remove leaves, branches, etc carefully aftyer a bit of dry time.

step 4: apply three THIN coats of MATTE CLEAR marine grade Polyurethane varnish. This is for IMPACT/scratch resistance and UV protection. This is the same stuff they paint bowling pins with, so it will do a great job as the surface coat.

I voted other as well. I have a few of my own custom camo patterns, but my "ghost Cedar" inspired by Lazerus2000, has been very popular. Shown here with a match m14s wearing an Evilgeniusdesigns custom m14sa2 "hunter" fiberglass stock

Wow. That's really sharp.

if usgi glass stocks were cheaper here i would try my hand at making a thumbhole pistolgrip type.. but alas.. $250 + for glass just isnt economical unless u know what you're doing

Hey Craftsman 441, where did you get those 5 rds stripper clip, been looking for some....

 

[Craftsman 441]

I bought them from a Gunnut a couple of years ago. Can't remember who, though.

I find "vietnam era tiger stripes" to be the coolest pattern.
