I stepped outside to check out the birdfeeders when I happened to notice two squirrels making a feast out of one of them. I grabbed my tuned B4-2 (my go to gun for this sort of thing) and peeked around the side of the house. The result was a chest shot at 32 yards with a solid kill. The other one didn't hang around long enough to see what was happening but I suspect he lost his taste for birdseed.
The thief...

LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE IN THE OTHER FORUM I LIKE IT ALOT ...BUT I FORGOT TO ASK IS IT BED LINER OR JUST SPRAY PAINT ?
THANKS ....
-
It is bedliner. Spray paint just doesn't seem like it would hold up well enough in the woods.
Thanks again for the feedback MULLSKINNER.

Thanks Gene. You should have a look at my album, plenty of hunting shots in there.
I was pleased with the B4's performance at this range. I've got guns that shoot harder but I like the fact that with this one, I don't have to worry about hitting the neighbor's dog which is two houses down.
Thanks.

YOU THINK IT'S TO SOFT :o
-
I think paint by itself would be too soft to hold up to briars and normal wear and tear it would encounter in the field.
Perhaps several coats of a dull lacquer might offer enough protection. Personally, I like the bedliner texture and durability so I continue to work with that.

I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING CAMO JOBS I HAVE SEEN ...
DANG THING JUST LOOKS LIKE A TREE RAT GUN ...YOU TUNE THEM YOURSELF ?WHAT TYPE OF SPRING YOU USE ? AND SEAL ?
-
Thanks MULLSKINNER, your comments help me to know when I am headed in the right direction.
I do tune them myself and the spring and seal used are from the QF2 kit.

THEY SEEM TO MAKE A NICE PROJECT GUN WITH LITTLE MONEY SPENT ...
THANKS, :)
-
They do indeed. Not bad for a cheap little Chinese gun.
Here is a more recent picture of the improved camo. Added some lighter highlights to improve the effect.
Take care.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PREDATOR CAMO GURU1?
-
I've read reviews concerning it and it is highly rated. I did quite a bit of research before experimenting with various camo configurations on the guns and the Predator camo came up quite often.

I GOT A B 20 BEGGIN FOR PREDATOR CAMO ....I WANTED DO DO IT BLONDE ... BUT THE STOCK HAS TO MANY IMPERFECTIONS ..SO I BEEN LOOKIN INTO THE PREDATOR CAMO I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU EVER SEEN IT ..
ASAT CAMO IS ANOTHER GOOD CAMO...
-
Predator and ASAT both look pretty easy to do depending on which version you go with. Personally, I like the Predator fall as it seems like it would be more flexible throughout the seasons.
I haven't actually seen any pictures of ASAT in the field so I can't judge how effective it is but it looks like it would work well.

Is it just an optical illusion as it looks like the barrel is bending downwards?
-
Probably is related to the upwards angle of the cocking lever. It shoots level and checks with a metal rule.
