Or stop screwing around with field expedient paint jobs and do something nice like home-made multicam

Speaking of paint jobs...
I guess I need to post this again. 
Supplies -Fake grass from wal-mart Looks kind of like this 
or this 
Its pretty cheap, and seems to work and hold up better than pine-straw -Netting I used the old style netting from Tactical Concealment. The new style works fine. The holes are a bit bigger on the newer stuff. http://www.tacticalconcealment.com/pd_lightweight.cfm 
Paint Krylon Camo Flat Khaki, Brown, and OD Green 
BLP tan paint (color is close to Yellow Ocher). I find this stuff at local Army surplus stores 
Technique 1.Started with a base coat of Krylon brown. I covered the entire rifle with this color 2. Second coat was with the OD green while using the fake grass. I covered most of the base coat with green, but not too much. 3. I then overlaid the netting and sprayed it with the BLP tan paint. This stuff is very yellowy tan, so I didn't cover a lot of the rifle with it. 4. Then I used the Krylon Khaki with the fake grass. I covered everything in this color, but try not to completely cover up the other layers. 5. I went back over the tan with a very little brown and green paint with the fake grass to break up and blend all the layers, as some of the previous layers have been covered. This created an over lapping look. 6. I put the netting back on and went over with some more BLP tan paint in random spots, along with a little green and very little brown. 7. I went back with the Krylon Khaki and fake grass and sprayed a little over where I had just sprayed over the netting. 8. Observe. Touch up places that may be lacking. 9. Fap Tips: When using the fake grass, do it in different angles from time to time. From 90*, to 45* angles. |

The product you see is a result of using Rust-Oleum Khaki, Brown, and Forest Green along with mesh screen and blue masking tape.
1. After covering the barrel and buttstock pad with blue masking tape, I applied two layers of Khaki to the entire rifle. 2. Using the mesh screen, I applied streaks of the brown and green in random places. My green streaks were much fewer and lighter than the brown as I didn't think alternating brown and green would look all that great. Thought I was done after this because I wasn't sold. I wanted more than the 'mesh' look. 3. 24 hours later, I practically mummified the rifle in blue masking tape, leaving jagged patterns exposed to get a good dose of dark green paint. 4. Hour later I unwrapped the rifle and reapplied the mesh and put a slight shade of khaki over the rifle once more to break it up 5. Save money for optics

My upper and lower and Coyote AlumnaHyde II as a durable, solvent resistent base for camouflaging the weapon for differing environments. Use Krylon or Aervoe over the alumnahyde dependent upon environmental coloring. I solvent wash the entire receiver, then pre-heat in oven, about 250, the Alumnahyde hits the hot metal, cures almost immediately leaving a dull textured finish almost like parkerizing. If you spray first then bake you get a satin smooth finish. |

I did it the other way around. Zero @ 100 with 77gr, plink with 55 XM193. Basically, at 250 my elevation is like .5, .6 MIL with either round. At 500 my dope with 193 would be 2.6 MIL, and maybe 2.9 with 77 depending on velocity. They're fairly close, but obviously @ 500 the 55gr starts getting finicky with wind. |

Essentially- nothing drastic that will make it go off paper at any reasonable distance... |

I did it the other way around. Zero @ 100 with 77gr, plink with 55 XM193. Basically, at 250 my elevation is like .5, .6 MIL with either round. At 500 my dope with 193 would be 2.6 MIL, and maybe 2.9 with 77 depending on velocity. They're fairly close, but obviously @ 500 the 55gr starts getting finicky with wind. So basically, if I'm zeroed for 55grn at 100 right now and I'm shooting 77grn about 1" high at 100...I'll be about 2" high at 200, 3" at 300, etc? Essentially- nothing drastic that will make it go off paper at any reasonable distance...

Besides testing with Sierras, and Bergers, I am thinking my new PRI upper will never see anything but 75 AMaxs.
Not doing a proper clone (I am doing a Vortex 2.5x10 ffp), but is a B5 SOPMOD correct on a mod 0?
