ok, here you go,

Very Picture heavy so give them a minute. I have two suggestions that I came across after I did mine, so live and learn from me:
     1. Dont paint any part of the bolt. Mine doesn't slide easily anymore.

    2. Go over the entire thing with some sort of a clear it will save the paint without a doubt. you can get it in ultra flat so go with that.  here is a 3rd link to where I found out about the clear coat.

                          You'll notice that his patterns are very very open so he got a lot of bleed through on his,                   making his a lot darker than mine, which is bad for you, you'll want yours to look like mine almost with a lot more of the base color, so all you'll have to do is make your patterns tighter like I did.


Your color scheme would be paint the gun white, and then the next layer would be black.

Any additional questions PM me and I'll give you my number to text.

Hope this helps.

This is the one that inspired me in the first place.
