Thank you... yeah i left everything assembled. The only part I removed was the bolt. I filled the chamber with toilet paper and taped off all the numbers/markings on my scope.
It was quite easy.
This is a little embarrassing but can you guess what movie I pulled the scheme from?
One thing that I didn't like about the movie Shooter is that when he shoots the beef stew from 1760 (1 Mile) if you watch closely you can see the bullet come UP and hit the beef stew. A real bullet will pretty much land straight on top of the can. I know its just a hollywood moment but the fact that they had a sniper on the scene and its pretty much common scense.
Wow thanks for all the great comments. I thought i was going to get laughed at.
I used Krylon camo Kaki color as the base, then I used the Krylon camo flat black as the sharp part of the stripe and then Krylon camo brown as the faded part thats connected to the black. Its tough to see in the picture.
I used the Kaki color to fade everything and make the lines smooth. It took a while to get it right, but it came out how i wanted it to.
For the small dark stripes I cut a 1/4 inch slit in a piece of cardboard.
For the large fades I used a 3/4 inch wide 10 inch tall slit in cardboard and held the spray can and cardboard on a 45 degree angle to get the fade. You also need to practice the fade technique for a while before you start to spray the rifle. Once you are finished with the colored fade, you then take your kaki color and very lightly sprits the lighter side of the fade to make it all blend in.
Hope that helps.
