I’m looking for a source that makes good plyable stencils to put a camo pattern on a couple guns. I don’t mind adhesive backed as long as it doesn’t leave residue. It’s a bonus if they’re reusable since I have numerous to do.

The more camo options they offer the better since I haven’t settled on a pattern yet.

I was considering using the lightning shaped stencils. They look like they would do a good job emulating branches in the fall or winter.

Application will be airbrush with air dry Cerakote.

Primary Arms has some that are not adhesive, just basically a sheet of silicone with cutouts that you lay over the surface and spray. There will be some feathering of the colors since it doesn't seal to the surface, but I have used the tiger stripe one with decent results.

I’ll check those out. I don’t mind blended edges.

I’ve tried making the diy silicone stencils. I wish I could get the hang of that. That type of stencil in the pattern I’d like would be ideal

This is what you seek.
I've used them and they work great.
Never tried to reuse them though.

I used Acid Tactical for stencils when I did my AUG.

No adhesive residue.

That's who I've bought stick-on  stencils from as well.  They aren't cheap, but they have a lot of different patterns to choose from and some helpful videos on using them. I've done 2 AR15s with them,  I don't see how they would be reusable though if OP is stuck in that requirement.

If I had a bunch of guns to do I think  I'd research cricket machines and how to make your own stick on stencils.
I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.

Thanks alll. This link has more what I’m looking for I think. I have some spray through stencils like what was shown in the other link posted. I wasn’t sure how well the pattern would transfer with that type of stencil on contoured areas.
