I know Ed has been a little concerned since I mentioned going out to buy a can of OD Green rattle can paint. Don't worry Ed, your Camo business is safe with guys like me around:)
Here's where the OD Green went, a little B50 facelift. The stock always felt wrong to me, much of that is long LOP, but also the grip to trigger reach is horrendous...even if you bend the brass trigger blade back as far as you can without breaking it off. So I cut a little relief into the palm area of the grip, primed, painted OD green and did some artsy bedliner stuff......never thought I'd say "artsy" AND "bedliner" in the same phrase.....hehe, here she is:

In case anyone is wondering......no, it still leaks flat in a couple days, but the stock was just killing me and I got bored:)

I must say Dano, that look's SHARP!:) nice contrast and you gave the stock a really nice flow. Impressive and I like the snaky scroll on it too. Great job Airbud, getting "artsy" with em. Ed

Gotta agree with Ed on this one, Dan. That really gives it that "get down to bidness" sniper rifle look. Well done!

Looks real sharp Dano, too bad it still leaks. Look at it this way if you take it out 3 times a week and shoot 200 pellets,using a hand pump, you should get a good workout and be able to cancel the gym membership,more airgun money,hehe.
