Steps to painting a shotgun (dial up users beware)

** Sorry guys, I can not paint anyones gun as my real job requires me to be out of the country for 6 to 8 months a year ** Ok guys, after posting pics of the guns that I`ve painted, I`ve received a lot of requests on a step-by- step process. I have taken in a gun from Fowl Wishes here at DHC...

Yeah, I tested trying that method of using foliage from the intended area. Thing I didn't like about it is since ya can't really get the foliage right up against the surface tightly, the outline of the plant life you choose becomes very diffuse. I dunno, just didn't look right to me.

EDIT: I really like the direct brush stroke paint he does of the "reeds" though in this one. that part looks great!
 
Looks kind of like the paint job I did. I got a Magpul stock for my Ruger American .308.

I bought a Yeti Rambler and it was shipped wrapped in this cardboard mesh.

I taped off and hung the stock:

Then I painted it by holding the cardboard close and doing stripes:

And the finished result:

I may paint the P-Mags later, we'll see. The shotgun will probably be next.

People who talk about the beauty of nature and the cruelty of hunting haven't been out there. Think of mammals. None of them die a quiet, painless death. It's all violent. Mother Nature is a heartless bitch. You kill to survive or you don't survive. Don't mean to be negative, but if you spend enough time out in the wild, you realize very quickly that it's dog eat dog [or coyote eat deer].

Are you able to get ammo or reloading components for that cartridge?
 
I have about 80 loaded rounds about 20 -30. Pieces of brass. And limited supply of reloading components. New to reloading getting help from my roomates son who reloads... Alway looking for more components and any advice. Would also be very appreciated.

Nice thing about P.O. [Parker Otto] Ackley chambering is that you can also shoot the original round, in your case the 225. You just can't reload that brass using regular 225 dies because it is now fire formed 225 AI. You can get 225 AI dies but they are expensive and almost the only way you can get brass is to shoot regular 225 thru your rifle, which creates perfectly fireformed brass.
