I recently read a few threads about painting rifle stocks on a different site. Looked like fun so I decided to try it on my old Ruger 10-22 with a wooden stock. It was a fairly straight forward procedure and I think it turned out pretty good. I had a few spray cans kicking around so I just used what I had. White and grey. My only concern is that the paint will probably chip and wear off over time. Oh well, I dont care its an old gun with a cheap scope. Now I'll probably use it more. If anyone else has painted their gun feel free to share a picture and any advice on choice of paint and methods used.

I've never painted a gun stock, but when I got my new Cooey .22 repeater many years ago, I took off the factory varnished finish and spent the whole summer rubbing it with boiled linseed oil. I was surprised how well it turned out after umpteen coats of oil rubbed in by hand.

I used rhino lining on an enfield, it worked good and gave the stock a modern look and a bit of texture ,a friend of mine liked it so he bought it from me ill try and get a picture next time i see him
I did this shotgun in the spring, and its seen a fair share of abuse. Alot of lessons learnt, that being need to sand down every thing a lot more, and find a primer.

Thanks for sharing Gope. I like the pattern. Is the paint on the barrel affected by heat after you shoot?
