Mosin Nagant

[dirt43]

Just got my Mosin all figured out and got fitted with a scope. I am planning on tiger striping the stock more than likely black and orange. Any other color suggestions? However, I just want to do two colors. Another scheme may be blue and black. Also any thoughts on how to go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

Have you thought about doing a mockup in photoshop?

Are you gonna DIY or are you gonna have it duracoated or something by a pro?

how about black with white smoke trails and a picture of some type,skulls,a tattoo, anything else that you think is cool.

I want to do it by myself, I was just thinking of flat blacking the whole stock and then when it dries taping of my tiger stripes or other pattern and then painting my second color. I dont want it to be camo; I want something more exotic. and I do not have photoshop nor do I have access to it.

How would I go about the smoke trail look?

No, but I do. I have too much time on my hands. This is a Mosin 44, stock camos and photos from the internet.

More after coffee kicks in.

This is interesting. Once I get my "tight" bolt issue worked out, I am thinking of doing something with the wood. I never thought of something wild like this. Let's see some more ideas for us less artistic types!

what about textured, black, or dark od green, drk grey, tan...
or even a textured painted CAMO Nagant with all the colors.

Im seriously afraid your Nagant might shed those colors off as quickly as they were conceived and applied....

Nice.

I am looking at something like those top 2 but more black than the other other color. A darker blue and possibly like a blood red

I'm on it. In the meantime, here's a few digital camos I found.

Heres an updated red and blue tiger. I flipped the black to be more prominent.

How would I go about doing a digital camo? That red digital looks awesome. It just boils down to is it something I can do?

Going back tot he first post in this thread which do you guys think would look best on the setup I have going for the gun right now. I do not want to paint my scope.

I haven't painted a gun yet, but I've refinished some bass guitars. I can't imagine this being much different.

Check this video out. It makes digital camo look easy. The background music gets annoying after a minute.

By the way, where'd you get that bipod? I have been thinking about adding one to my Mosin.

 

[dirt43]

I got the bipod from cheaper than dirt. I paid $40 for it and I love it. It tilts form side to side to accommodate for uneven ground and if you push it a little you have a little bit of rotation but not much. The only downside to it is the length of the legs. By the way it is a caldwell.

I watched the video and I think I am leaning towards that is too much work lol. Now I think I am leaning towards the red camo tiger stripes. Maybe a deeper red and more jagged lines. Also more lines, I feel like there is too much space between lines, and I am not trying to criticize your work I am just letting you know my thoughts along the way.

Yeah, digital is pretty involved. Duracoat makes a 'Vietnam Tiger Stripe' kit. Here's a video.

I can scale down the size of the tiger stripes, and also tweak the smoothness of the lines. Don't worry, all direction is being taken as constructive criticism.

Thanks for the heads up on that bipod btw!
