My Daughter who is turning 9 next month loves the outdoors and shooting. I planned to go in with my folks and we were going to get her a .22LR for this up coming squirrel season. Dad mentioned he had his .22 that he would give her which has some sentimental value as my Mom bought it for him when the were married. I painted to stock this weekend and am very pleased with the results. I applied the final coats of clear last night and am going to reassemble the rifle this evening. I think she is going to like it.





Squirrels beware!

How cool is that!! I think she's gonna be thrilled to get Grampas squirrel gitter.

Way to go dad! She'll be jazzed with a customized rifle, with her name well done on it to boot. She'll be smiling, but I'm certain Skippy will feel otherwise. Have a great squirrel season, and be sure to post some pics of her in the field with the new piece.

Job well done.

Thanks, I will post pictures for sure!

WOW! That really turned out nice.

Can I ask one thing of you....in the forend, which will be covered by the barrel....put the date in there....and something like "love Dad".

That is a very special sentiment....and it will grow even more sentimental over time.

Great minds think alike I used a paint pen in the barrel channel to put Love Mom and Dad with her birth date following. Thanks for the idea though.

That is truly a work of art! Amazing job. Now I gotta make sure Grace (3 1/2) doesn't see it. She wanted a Cinderella Pink Rifle for Christmas
WTG!

In Christ,

Wow! thats so cool. She'll love it.

Great Job and awesome for you & Trinity.

What kind/brand of splatter paint did you use for the effect?

Nodak

I used Krylon Webbing spray. The only place I found it as at Jo-Ann online.
