I've sprayed the blue before!

Petey,

I've never tried to put a paint over oil on a wood stock. I think I would pass on the paint and just wax until it shined and was slippery enuff to slide in on the bags like it was greased.

I think clear acrylic on the wood would work but not sure about over the oil finish. Still think I would just wax it.

I have used krylon mat black paint on the metal that would normally be blued. It gives a very even mat finish that is heat resistant and weather resistant looks really good and is a clean finish. The beauty of doing the action and barrel this way is that touch up is just a shaken can and spray away.

I've done rifles this way and its worked every time. One bolt action Rem. 700 and two AR's of a couple of friends.
