Said I was going to wait and do this later but got up this morning and took the stock off of the 125TH. Here is the start of the pnt job.

Here is the stock. Got to fill the but with some foam or poly. Cut the front sight off the brake. Don't use the iron sights plus the front sight gives me a ghost image in the scope. Blueing was not that great so to blend the look here goes the barrel. I like the grass pattern.

And for the final. I know many of you may not care for this. There are many things one could use for patterns. Mine is simple but the gun does look much better. Best thing is the coating will stay and it cost next to nothing.

Cool . . . Sort of a "desert feel" to the rifle.  Any plans to do the rest of the rifle and/or the scope?

"Not like this"?

That looks fantastic, did you paint the checkering part too and... what brands of coating and process did you use? My last go round with the plastic paints was not that good, they had a "gummy" feel to them even after several weeks.

I have been thinking of doing the scopes as others have. Only problem is the scopes are good scopes and if they go bad just don.t think any one will make them good. The gun is a given, It for sure can not be returned at this point. AS it stands we can fix issues that come up if we can find parts for the gun. Much easier to fill the stocks on this one. Had 2 cans of spray foam and both are bad and never been used. Off to get some.

RUSTOLEM BEDLINER 1ST COAT. Drys quick in this weather and then the same brand of brown satin. Let dry to touch and then top coat with spray satin polyurethane. Trick is to clean the plastic really good and light sand and clean again. I now have 3 syn stocks painted the same method and they all look great still. They do have a primer for syn and plastics that works great. I have just had good luck with the bedliner stuff. Yes I taped the checkering.
Her is another one. On the Remington I taped off the areas that stood out and would be handled. This one has a green hue to it.

Those do look very sharp. You certainly woke up the 125's drab appearance. Very nice job.

Nice work, on all of these guns, I'm off to the Rustoleum site for more info

THANKS TO ALL. I went ahead and just stuffed the butt with poly fill. I did not remember the complete but pad coming off of the WFH. I DRILLED A HOLE AND STUFFED THAT ONE. The stock material is very thin, With the butt plate removed I was able to fill the TH AND PISTOL GRIP. Most of the RWS guns that I painted I used more colors of OD green and some black with some sand as well. WORKS GOOD FOR ME!!!!

[WHITEFANG]

Here is 1 RWS in OD green,black,sand, and a tripod done with fern leaves.

By the way I have found that the Remington but pads will fit the RWS AND WINCHESTER makes a good slip on pad that works good too. I hated those hard plastic but pads. Seems to work out much better on the recoil and placement to you shoulder.

Great Job! That should blend nicely most anywhere.

[WHITEFANG]

One thing about it is that it will not be as noticeable to the neighbors pointed around

This is seriously impressive. Your guns look fantastic. I want to do this to mine too.  I had thought the same as you, and have plans to level the muzle break, and do some paint work.  I need some help though...

1) Confirming, you primed it with rustoleum bed liner spray?  After a sanding, did you wash with acetone, alcohol, mineral spirits, what?  Was the bedliner spray black then??

2) Did you have to prep the coat of bedliner for color, and how long did you wait before you applied color coats to the bedliner?

3) What brand/type of color spray did you use? Rustoleum has like 7 brands of satin paint. And what is the satin polyurethane you spoke of?  Is it the Varathane line for wood?? It sticks to the bedliner??

4) Finally, how did you get that amazing grass pattern on there?!

Thanks!!

That 125 looks real good, I like it !
