Finally got around to painting my dad's gun. Not real excited how the tracks turned out, but the camo is probably one of my favorites so far. He likes it, so that's all that matters.
In process...

Loaded him up 25 of these...
Guns throws one of the most even patterns I've tested yet at 40 yards.....260's in the 10" and 20" circle for 520+ hits.
Clear coat is drying. I'll try to get some assembled pics before he runs off with it.

You will get my vote for 2016 Son of the Year. Great job. I can't wait to see the pics of it assembled. Good luck.

thanks. got it put together last night, but it got dark before I could get some pictures. I'll try to get him to text me some when he gets back to MS. It turned out pretty nice I think.

Very nice! I really like your camo.
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Thanks!
Dad isn't great with technology, but here is the gun assembled. I like the way the camo turned out, but I hate how the tracks ended. Wish I had black webbed them with the rest of the gun then clear coated it.
