Dude, buy some krylon and paint it yourself! it realy is not that difficult. Some masking tape, card stock and a pair of scisors is all the kit you need.

Check out Krylons ultra flat camoflage series at ACE hardware.

Your house, man. As you were told in the other thread you asked this in...look it up on here, and do it yourself. It will come out better and look cooler. If you're DEAD set on being lazy and such, www.camotech.com will do them for about 100 to 200.

It really is easier than it seems, it's hard to mess up, and if you do, just paint over it. Just use a base coat (tan for desert scheme, green for woodland), and add stripes of green and brown. Search the forums and you'll see some good paintings...

Stripes are so gay!!! take some time and paint it another way like use leaves or mesh as a stencil. I am so sick of diagonal stripes of brown/green across a gun.

Here's a pretty good guide for painting a gun, just use the opposite colors to get a desert result, ie green as a base, brown next, tan on the top. That will give you a more tan rifle with green/brown vegetation

Talk to Paul at Jungle Toy in Scottsdale. He does camo jobs if you dont want to do it yourself.

As am I...I'm working on what might turn out as a guide on how to digi-camo guns.

Ah. found it. Looks like he did the same thing I was going to do, which is copy the patterns off of a camo uniform, cut them out of (cardboard/posterboard/etc) and then use the patterns to do painting. Great minds think alike, and it is the obvious path to follow.

Fairly simple to do, I should have the guide finished when work calms down a bit and I'm not working 80 hours a week.
