Beretta A300 stock referb (tacticoolification)

**Gunna** · 02-10-2013, 18:08

I figured my shottie's stock was looking a bit worse for wear. I'd wanted to replace it ever since I'd bought it second hand but nobody makes anything for this fantastic firearm. That sucks. So I decided to attempt some creativity of my own. Seeing as I don't have the milling equipment or tools to make the aluminium stock that I want I figured I'd just spray it.

So, I got some spray paint from Builders warehouse (Rust-olium stone spray, Sienna Stone) and whipped the foregrip off.

Taped it up and sanded it.

Cleaned it with a wet rag.

Hit it with two coats of primer.

And sprayed three coats of the paint on to it (oddly, the paint actually smells of stone)

Admired my handywork the next day.

And it was good! :D
So, whipped off the stock, rinse repeat:

Very happy with the result.

Not had a chance to shoot it yet, but the new textured grip really feels good in the hands. Will have to wait and see just how well the finnish handles wear and tear. But for now I'm well chuffed. :D

Solid piece of high-density rubber (silicone?), and then mated with a slightly less dense rubber in a two-layer laminate style... with the hevier stuff closest to the stock, and the softer stuff on your shoulder.

Gonna have to get it cut to shape etc though...

Would be nice to have a little cushioning on the butt-plate for a full days shooting

Hmmmm... we got some AR15 pads in stock, but they slip over the normal AR telescopic, so probably won't work.

Perhaps the Fabarm ones will fit..? Could try order some for you..?
