MM Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 after the binocular incident, i decided that i wanted to do my rifle, but thought id try it out on my sons Cobra first. it only has a small scope (x20) so i reckoned that would look ggod done as well. let me know what you think, as i dont want to knacker the finish on my rifle if it looks like a plank o wood and the stock. best to do the fiddly bits first. and the finished article..... im not going to do the barrel on this, but might on my own one.

Paul223 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 The finished article doesn't look that bad, but i must ask, after a few cleaning sessions and the odd dribble of oil will the glue on the tape turn all sticky and you couldn't be doing that with any decent or expense scope jager sporting arms do good paint work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEREALTHRILLER Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I don't think that taking a scope to bits is a good idea Surely it will just fog up as they're filled with a gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 i know what you are saying, but i ve checked the scope and as its only a cheapy, it seems to be fine. wouldnt do it on a better scope, this one is just for fun, just considering if i could do a good enough job on my stock.

chunk Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Taking that cheap scope apart reminded me of when, as a lad the "cross hairs" and they were hairs, were reclining at them bottom of the field of view. I took it apart and replaced them with fuse wire. The reticule was somewhat thick and looked **** but worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinedave Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Very nice! Who can paint a rifle stock here in the UK for a decent price? I only want it done matt-black really! Can't find anywhere - I won't be DIYing it as anything involving paint I seem to destroy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
