Camouflaging Stainless Barrell & Mod

    I'm wondering if any stalkers who use a stainless barrell & mod make any efforts to camo the silver colour or if you think it makes a difference?

    I know you can spray paint some mods but I'd rather not. I'm thinking perhaps using tights or some camo net?

    Any opinions welcomed!

    You can use camo tape you can get it in any airsoft shop. It's not sticky tape as in it dose'nt have any glue on it. It's like that redish medical tape. It sticks to itself and can be taken on and off as you please. The only down side is it'll hold moisture so remember not to leave it on the whole time. I think it's quite good anyways, stops the gun getting scratched up.

    Deer are colour blind

    Myself and all of my mates use stainless rifles for stalking.
    We dont use anything to cover them and dont have any problem getting close to deer.
    Some of the best stalkers I know dont even wear cammo, just plain green.

    Its not about the colours you wear as deer and alot of animals are colour blind. its movement they pick up.
    The sun reflecting off them may alert animals and help them spot you but most barrels are a dull stainless that dont reflect that much.

    It's always worth remembering that while deer,and indeed many other wild animals are colour-blind, and won't care if you wear hi-viz pink blaze when you're stalking, that birds are far from such, in fact their mating habits are dominated by colour. And as we all know, the first thing a bird does when it sees you(which it WILL) is to fly away as fast and loudly as possible whilst shrieking it's feathered little head off! IMO top camouflage is essential.
