the webbing rattle can kinda comes out silly string like. I have the hopes that it will lay down some but still give a textured feel. I have a L/A stock that was done in spray grit and it is mighty rough on a cheek. Depending on the texture I may be able to calm it somewhat with the matte clear Aluma-Hyde I am going to use over it all. I am after something close to the HS Precision Olive black web color. I am going to use the Krylon Ultra Flat Camo OD as the base coat.

You can feel it, but it lays down a good bit. It adds only a marginal amount of grip.

been a little whacked here lately..my second can of black lave finally with a coup for the shipping delays. My A/C guy got the lines hooked up today, vacuumed and charged it up. We are cooling down and drying out. My dog is getting out of the hospital tomorrow. My wife left me...no worries...she'll be back.
Might take a day and go to my buddy's...maybe I can convince him to thread this barrel while I'm there. The Sunday morning I'll get up early and mow the pastures since the rain has let up a bit. Then get some paint on this stock....time to get finished.

You don't know how to fix the AC?? You have most every other area covered.
Is the pup okay?
Wife will miss you eventually and wanna come back to her King....maybe.

A/C isn't my forte...I did install everything. He just cut the lines, flared the ends, put a suction on it and charged it.
Not sure he is out of the woods yet...but he is home.
I am thankful every morning for 2 things
I'm not looking at grass roots
I don't have a skillet imprint on my face
Those eyes have cut at me so many times in 43 years ...it don't even bleed anymore

looking good!
Got this done today at my buddy's...got it reeal close then finished it with a die. Blued it while my dog was out in the yard. Looks like he is a little better than when he went in the hospital Tuesday morning.
now I just need to order the thread protector like we used to measure it with...Yankee Hill I do believe.
Back at it in the morning!

Dang...
I almost had a heart attack until I realized that was the business end threaded for a can..
"Threading a barrel" means to me the other end.
Finishing with a die is ok on the muzzle.

if you put threads on either end...isn't it called threading?

wasn't able to get back to put the second coat on in the allotted time so I did it when I got home tonight...had to wait 48 hours for it to cure.
no I didn't paint the bedding material I taped it off
The pad didn't come out too bad but I am going to roll with it like it is.
Below is the only spot I gave up on after the 2 passes
dang...now I see this one too...still letting it roll..
it is a used rifle

Give some good detail on the black splatter when you get to it. I'm wanting to learn all I can for doing my little Grendel...

@Railroader I don't know what kind of detail this is going to be. One can will be plenty! It doesn't matter how much you spray on an IPSC target it will not be the same on the stock It will give you a heads up if nothing else.
I tried to hold it a little farther away hoping that it would dry a little on the way making the texture a little stronger. Dries in 5 minutes and handle in an hour. I will let it go over night. Spraying temps should be between 50 and 75 with low humidity according to the can. Just so happens the shop is 71 and 48%.
I did over cover in a couple of places (bottom 2 pics)...the spray nozzle fans top to bottom and I didn't try to change it. I will look tomorrow to see if you can change it to a flat fan.
Here is the result:

That is exactly the effect I am aiming at.
I'm thinking about a few stripes of brown, gray, and then top it off with the splatter, and some clear ceramic.
What splatter specifically did you order. I too struck out finding any local.
That thing looks great!

the Krylon stuff @weagle showed us.
The base coat is the ultra flat Olive from their camo colors. I have plenty left over in the first can and I bought 2 of them. I think the can I used will do 3 more stocks .
I do have one more stock I could do though. I have an HS Precision L/A with a monte that needs it that came off of an STW i used to make my 6.5WSM. Might have to sandblast the finish off of it.
I can't wait to feel the texture tomorrow.
