I have a few old GI M14 stocks in various states of condition so I figured I'd take one of the beaters and do something cool with it. Multicam it was... Sanded off all the checkering, and added some Marine Tex which came out excellent. Beefed up the rear of the stock with the remaining Marine Tex and sanded it all smooth and we're off to the races! It did not come out perfect, and I wish the fading was more evident, but I am happy with it. I don't own anything in Multicam to compare it to but I think it came out pretty good.

I don't know how I missed this, but I will say this. I like it, it has potential... keep working at it cause I believe you could have something here.

very Cool.

I would mist it with the Khaki/FDE/whatever it's called this week along with one of the lighter greens.

Looks good.

What product did you use?

Those before pics are FUGLY.  You definitely improved her looks.

I like the marine tex idea,  when I refinish GI stocks I was bead blasting the old finish out of the checkering the preserve the texture.  Kind of messy and time consuming.  

Here's one I did in Digital with Duracoat:

It would have been better but like a dumbass, I pulled the masks off right after doing green and didn't bother to do the fading as I just plain forgot... As a result it looks off. It still looks good but not right. I am still trying to think of how to fix this without redoing the whole bloody thing.
