582 Remington and the ugly silver scope

[bandit1250]

After I pulled the silver scope from the Henry Frontier I thought about getting rid of it because of not having a stainless rifle to put it on. It just works to well not to use it so I put it back on the 582 Remington I hunt squirrels with. So today I will fix the ugly silver scope for good. No I am not going to crush it. Here is how bad it looks on a blued rifle. After while I will be back with a cure.

Is it going to match the stock?

You know, it actually looks better on that gun with the new camo than it did black.

Well I got it finished this afternoon. I put a color on then worked on the yard until dry then added another color and then back to the yard. I did that until all the base colors were on. It then set for a few hours then the black paint went on last over my stencils I cut from one of my targets. Then the matte clear coat finished it up. A couple days curing in the heat should make a hard finish. I painted the whole rifle except the bolt. I never paint no action parts due to the paint maybe getting down inside as it wears from moving parts. Here it is ready for fall season for squirrel.

I like your work Sir. I have an ugly Ruger American Rimfire that could use something like this.

[Deadwood Dutch]

That's a wonderful job, looks great!

[daytime dave]

That came out great. You should be proud of that. I pity the squirrels. No, wait, I don't. I'd rather eat them. lol

[White Squirrel]

Nice work! I just don't have the talent nor patience for that kind of task.

[Sir Henry]

Wow that looks great!

[Vaquero]

Good job!!!

I'd have a hard time with that.
Unless the gun was already in need of a refinishing.
But hey, that looks good.
