nice job! i think even an all gray gun would be a more natural camo color than is the standard black rifle. do you have a clip on youtube showing how you did it?

Holy cow. That's really, really good. I like how in the first picture the green splotches "pop out" against the background. Excellent job getting a 3-D effect going. Like someone else said, looks good in that arena. Congrats.

Who cares it is a .22 it still keeps Janet Reno up at night with the 25rd mag.

Nice stick!
