I had to do some work on a B&C ultralight stock (Browning A-bolt). I need to paint the area where Devcon was added to the pistol grip. Any suggestions for matching the black/gray web? If it's beyond do it yourself, I'd appreciate recommendations for a pro to do the work.

Thanks.
 
Call Florida fiberglass and get a little jug of webbing agent. You mix it up to 50 percent with polane. Best to test on a piece of scrap as you get one shot when using it. Get your gun settings to low pressure and stand back a bit.
Your likely going to discover that a complete repaint will be the only real way to make the stock look original again. Tough to blend this stuff.

clean the snot out of it with wash lacquer thinner once your done. It'll make a mess of a paint gun if you dont.

We've done hundreds of these.

have fun!

I think it would be easier to re-do the entire stock versus blending. skuff up the current surface, paint to the color of your choising, web over that. I would look at Brownells Alumna-Hyde for the base, Krylon webbing, cover with a couple of coats of matte clear. JMO
