Thanks everyone. I used Krylon camouflage spray paint. You might be thinking the same thing I did when I first heard about people spray painting their expensive rifles.... that it was nuts. When I really sat down and thought about it I came to the conclusion that I had been treating my rifle like a safe queen; it never left the safe unless it was going right into a case, then into my trunk, then to the firing line. This thing is a weapon, a tool, a battle rifle.... so I'm done babying it. I love the look and the color now, but I am going to experiment with some different, slightly bolder, camouflage, patterns.
I first degreased the exterior of the weapon with alcohol. Then after letting it dry I applied a few light coats of tan. After those dried I took a pair of pantyhose, stretched them out and sprayed olive drab/ foliage green through it to make the patterns you see.
I hope you guys like it, but if you don't that's ok too. A tool is a tool, right?
