this is the stock of my sar1 i'm painting how does it look ok or should i sand it off and start over

Cranky-Kraut · 08-01-2002, 09:28 PM

Hmmm, well I tend to go for either really nicely-finished, natural wood OR all black synthetic stocks. Camo stocks are not my style but I think this is going to be a personal call Tommy. If you like it, then keep it that way...after all...its YOUR gun.

Personally...if the wood is just crummy looking no matter what you do with it, I would go for a durable flat black finish OR a whole new set of furniture but take my comments with a grain of salt and keep in mind the fact that my name IS Cranky-Kraut!

i was thinkin the same thing when i put the flat black base coat. i found it looked real nice like that just plain flat black. thanks for the opinion. it might just end up flat black

I think that is an excellent paint job and if that is what you want, go for it! It is always nice to have a gun that is different than everybody else's. I personaaly think it looks cool. But if it were mine, I am a Flat black kinda guy. But, again, that's a great paint job! It all bowls down to what makes you happy. Good Shooting!

I like the concept albeit a bit shiny.

Dale · 08-02-2002, 09:18 AM

I think it's whatever flicks yer bic.

I personally like the flat black idea.....but I DO like yours, too.

I would try coating it with a flat spar varnish to see if you can get some shine off it....if, in fact, you want the shine off. Otherwise, leave as it is....it's yours.....it's unique.

Nice job!

guffster · 08-02-2002, 05:21 PM

looks pretty cool to me. I painted mine flat olive drap & looks good to me.

tommy · 08-03-2002, 01:12 AM

ok hear is the finished gun

Mick · 08-03-2002, 03:29 AM

Heehee my mussus would kill me if I had my rifle anywhere near the bathroom.

Klaus · 08-03-2002, 10:41 AM

Bet you could paint the mag, too.

jerry · 08-03-2002, 12:46 PM

have the mag powder coated, silver vein. or gold

Rave · 08-03-2002, 08:22 PM

Looking good,Tommy,looking good! I like natural wood,but as paint jobs go....looking good!:nod: :nod: :nod:

alan c. · 08-03-2002, 09:12 PM

I am with Klaus do the mag, but not on the receiver end. No sense in paint scraping off. The mag would balance out the rest of the rifle.

NRAJOE · 08-03-2002, 09:31 PM

Good job tommy, looks cool!

BattleRifleG3 · 08-05-2002, 09:47 AM

Looks ferocious.

Calvin · 08-05-2002, 02:19 PM

Looks great, Tommy. Hope it works out for you.
As a side note, my wife would have some serious problems with me being in the bathroom with my SAR.....

tommy · 08-05-2002, 03:16 PM

i think it should be a part of everyones bathroom. you know the toiletries like hand soap/ toilet paper/ shampoo/ toothpaste. mouth wash and you'r choice of assault weapon. just some thing to help ease the tension while doin you'r thing. you never know when something is goin to happen.lol.

Mick · 08-07-2002, 09:42 AM

WHOOOOWEE!!! Lookout, last nights chilli has come back for revenge!

Wooooow Extremely Rad. Mine has a Choate Dragunov Stock Set which is made from polimer and if I paint it, it'll peel off.
I like your paint job a lot.
I saw some website with stock sets made out of polimer and with different paint jobs (like 20 or 30), if I find it again I'll let you know.
As for guns in the bathroom, I keep my moss 590 by the toilet, just kiddin, keep up the good work and post if you paint the mag.
Maybe you can make some money customizing wood stocks.
