Nice paint job on the stock - I find by using a base khaki brings out the greens, but you had a good light base with the green you used. I also use testors flat matte clear to protect the paint job and keep the wear to a minimum, as well dull out any non matte colors used in the process.

Another color that mixes well is a sand yellow - makes a very light green when painted over lightly. Not sure if Gump had pics of the one that I did for him recently but it worked out well mixing yellows as a base.

Why didn't you paint the whole rifle that way? Not that it matters much since it's mostly the stock.
