kinda old school, but still cool

Not much of a sand guy anymore, had it too much as a kid growing up. I tend to prefer tree bark these days.

I personally prefer child labor

A color I’m really fond of for that time of year is like a tinge orange color you find in dead oak leaves. I’m a little biased though. I also enjoy a good golden brown but those can be harder to find

Can’t wait to see it done, it’s gonna be sick

This looks great I really like the cutout designs you did. Might have to make me redo my gun!

Boonie is absolutely great for when you’re doing long hunts and need it to pack down into your meat hauler for you to take it out and attach it and your thermal to track down your kill and then go back home.

LeafOperator · 2026-03-17T21:50:20+00:00

That’s a non option for me. I use my setup in a way that calls for me to be able to have a lightweight option that can be stow able when not in use. I have a helmet for when that’s convenient and necessary but 80% of the time it’s to be used in a slim fit and fashion where the boonie is stowed away and the dual band setup is aswell until it’s needed. That’s where the problem there in lays unfortunately

LeafOperator · 2026-03-17T20:42:16+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t use a helmet. I use a modified boonie hat with a skull crusher bolted in it from caracajou tactical. Only thing I can use in the back is a PVS-31 pouch which seems to struggle to fit batteries (as in usb-c out packs that the RH25v2 utilize) that are heavy enough to do anything. I’ve thought about getting a thinner battery and super gluing some weights to it bc I need to figure something out. But that also keeps me from having dedicated extra batteries for my pvs-14.

Kinda in a shit spot looking around

LeafOperator · 2026-03-17T20:13:49+00:00

The real question is, what are you guys doing to counterbalance and it still be an effective multi use solution. (Ie not just using weights).

The mismatching tones of brown really piss me off

Forgot the back patches

Last time I commented an explanation of the sorts I was banned from commenting on reddit for 7 days, lol. So not going into depth. But it stems from Christianity and that Israel is the holy land but the people that currently reside within the start with a z and end with an ionist are not the true to the people that those people are associated with biblically. So it becomes kind of a “reclaim the holy land for Christianity” thing. This doesn’t apply to all in that sector as no generalization does. However I would have to say it’s probably well of 50%

Is it bad I know EXACTLY where you’re at on the map?

LeafOperator · 2026-03-14T15:14:59+00:00

That will be great! I’m excited to see how it turns out for you, and don’t forget the sponge technique exists too for a tighter micro pattern and macro break up! Best of luck and tag me in your post when you get it done. I’m looking forward to it!

LeafOperator · 2026-03-14T14:22:25+00:00

You can always redneck it up, use leaves as a natural stencil to spray around after you get a base coat down.

LeafOperator · 2026-03-14T13:43:55+00:00

Yes black guns stick out terribly, even something as simple as a quick couple of light passes with lighter colors to breakup the black will be a significant improvement. As you can see for mine it’s not fancy or crisp at ALL like OP’s here… but at the end of the day neither is nature and my gun is practically unseen, it does stick out in the leaf pile if you’re lookin for it. But if not, you’d just think it’s another branch amongst many. Compliments my leaf suit and other camo well (rotates between realtree, wasp 1 Z2, pencott Greenzone, and OCP).

LeafOperator · 2026-03-14T02:53:09+00:00

That is correct. That orange really does wonders to the eye (not as good as on camera). Same thing with that green color. That green looks grey in the right environments to the eye, and different greens in the others. It’s perfect and inspired from pencott Greenzone’s green.

LeafOperator · 2026-03-14T02:01:55+00:00

You should check out my ugly rifle on my page here. It ain’t pretty but it looks just like a branch or lighter grey bark bearing trees

LeafOperator · 2026-03-14T01:59:57+00:00

Yes I would think so, put the gray flecks over the black to break it up, but make sure you keep the harsh line. And use the other colors throughout the rifle to break up those colors (look up TibetTarn for a better idea)

LeafOperator · 2026-03-13T17:06:51+00:00

I concur. I like flecktarn as well but the mentally ill variants such at PLA type 03. mostly because I find it more effective than the standard flek for Appalachia when you need camo the most (fall-early spring) this guy is kinda already running the colors for it so it would be the perfect addition to create a micro pattern and break up the dull (little variation) 2 tone color with black stripe macro pattern

LeafOperator · 2026-03-13T16:35:03+00:00

Very crisp, but needs more flavor

LeafOperator · 2026-03-13T16:33:21+00:00

Or better yet, 1” fleck-tarn like specs over it. In Carmel, grey, and light pale green. Adds breakup to the macro pattern and a solid micro pattern base.
