What's up guys? In this video I will walk you step by step how I camo sponged the stock on my Ruger American rifle. I recorded this video last year and tested the painted stock all last season. The finish held up very well and there are no signs of wear, scratching, pealing or fading. Feel free to drop a comment if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!!!
Stay safe and take care.

  • I’ve done a number of rifles this way. What I found was after the clear coat dries and the small of the clear coat goes away, there is an additional step to be made. Take some “00” steel wool and go over the stock very lightly. It will diminish the satin shine to a dull finish.

I think I'll try your technique, but maybe with a tan/green base, and some contrasting brown/green areas. Sponged stripes, if that makes sense. thanks for the field report too. I've heard mixed result trying to spray polymer stocks.

    • As soon as spring comes around, I need to tackle that project. I epoxy stiffened the forend and bedded the action. It shoots great--it's just ugly. There are a lot of directions you could go with sponging as the basic technique--maybe air brush in some branches, or mask off some stripes. Whenever I do camo, I find the hard part is knowing when to stop. I can noodle around with it until I don't like it anymore. I just need to learn to hit it, and leave it alone.

I'm going to do my first experiment on this with my 10/22, and I got my Magpul Hunter stock in FDE specifically because I thought it would be a good base color. Definitely don't want to skip it if it helps with adhesion though.

    @dannybrowning2068@dannybrowning2068 Жыл бұрын

    • You should not need to recite the scope if you are able to disassemble with the scope still attached. But if you cant disassemble with the scope still fixed on the rail, reciting it shouldn't take too much ammo/work it should be very close to your original zero when you remount it and only need to make a few small adjustments. I have recited my rifles many times before because i sometimes swap scopes around on my guns. It would be nice if everything lined dead on perfect like in movies and video games.
