Looking for any reviews, good or bad, on the Freedom Stencils. I’m planning on tiger striping a rifle that already has an OD cerakote base.

I've used them, they work fine. You do understand that you need to totally remove all traces of Cerakote and start all over don't you? The word "already" in your post concerns me. You can't put anything over cured Cerakote, not even more Cerakote.

Just finished up a rifle last week with the multicam ones and spray paint.
It turned out really nice.
Be patient when removing the negative side of the stencil sheet and try to pull it flat and diagonally and you'll be fine.

You can't krylon/aervoe over it? I've done it on Duracoat.  Worked great.

It'll flake off pretty quickly.

Well that’s bad news but thanks for the heads up.

Another option is the Primary Arms reusable stencil.  I've got one of the multicam versions and it works well enough as long as you're not looking for crsip edges, which I wasn't.

Thanks sandbox. That’s a good option I haven’t seen. Typically I’ve not been concerned with sharp lines and have cut my own stencils out of hard stock.

Also check out Branson Cerakote and Predator Ink for stencil options. I've been happy with their stencils too. I'm not an industry shill, I've just been satisfied with these companies.
