I picked up some of the Rust-O-Leum "Camo" paint the other day and camo'ed up my .22LR AR.

Where is your rifle? -
No, no stensils. I bought one of those rough sponges you find in the soap department at Walmart, and a few sponge brushes from Lowes. I tore a random chunk off of the big sponge, and tore random bits off of the sponge brushes.
Put two coats of Khaki down first, used the big peice of sponge to do Brown and the OD Green on the sponge brushes. Tried to make the pattern as "random" as possible.Comment

Nice camo but your Avatar is magnificent.

Looks good. Did you have to do any prep work on your rifle first before the painting?Ray

I removed the bolt, taped off the front sight post, rear aperture, and the trigger. And I taped off the muzzle. I took a broken AR mag and put it in the mag well to block it off.
I took a can of carb cleaner and sprayed it down and let it dry to burn off all of the oil on the outside. That was the extent of my prep work.
Here are all of the supplies I used, minus the carb cleaner:
