Tip - DIY Camo: Give Your Synthetic Gunstock a Paint Job

Photo by Travis Rathbone Think your old synthetic rifle or shotgun stock could use a modern facelift? Instructors at North Carolina’s Montgomery Community College Gunsmithing School dolled up the D.I.Y. camo-painted stocks shown here and gave us their step-by-step plan. To get started, remove barrels, actions, and sling swivels from the stocks. Lightly sand the stocks with 220-grit sandpaper and wipe them clean with denatured alcohol or acetone. Use masking tape and an X-Acto blade to mask off areas that shouldn’t be painted. Suspend the stocks from a clothes hanger and start spraying.
