Im toying with the idea of camouflaging an my hunting/shtf AR15. If any of you hunt then you probably know that you can be fully camo'd out but if your carrying a solid black gun it sticks out like a sore thumb. My plan is to do the whole gun optics and all. I have two old test guns that i tried different patterns on both sides of each gun . All of the guns started out with a base of khaki over the whole gun. I took sponges "about 2inches square" and a pair of pliers and chunked up the bottom of the sponge to break up the pattern. First side of shotgun got olive drab green stripes. Then next i took the can of khaki and sprayed it on a paper plate and dabbed the sponge in it then went over the green with it. After that hit the khaki with a sponge of green paint over all the khaki. After this i tried some flat camo brown in random spots then did the same with flat black. Here is the first pic next to the AR i plan on painting.
I was pretty impressed with how well it blended in up against the tree. The half of the barrel dont count it was a different pattern. The other side of this gun got covered in an apple bag and part was painted brown and part green. It looked really cool but didnt blend in near as well. Plus the sponge would be super easy to fix ups chips/ nicks. Next pics is the shotgun and a muzzleloader that i was trying to get an atacs look on it
