The rifle has been painted, but it would be better to break up the outline a bit more. I read about making camouflage for a helmet using strips of BDU uniforms. The guy said he cut long rectangular strips and then cut them corner to corner so one end would be narrower for tying to his helmet netting. Do you have any tips for doing something similar to a Colt AR-15?

You can tie it on the rifle, but it's just more efficient to put you and your rifle under a net, once you are done moving.
Even easier, on your boonie hat, the ghillie net going down the back should be long enough to cover the rifle when you turn it around after you get in position.

What about while you're still moving?

SPC Elijah J. Henry, MBA - Are you on active duty? Why do you want or need a camouflaged weapon?

MSG Stan Hutchison - on principle, I believe the question "Why do you need that?" should not be asked regarding a weapon in this country (or anywhere, because I believe liberty should thrive across the globe), except on a personal (probably financial) level.
You could ask the same question about camouflage clothing, and it would make about as much sense. Any time you want or need to be camouflaged, you probably have a weapon with you, and it's just silly to be camouflaged while carrying a big black rifle.
As you see from my profile or headline, I ETSed years ago. That doesn't mean I'm no longer in this line of work.

While I don’t have a tip on the AR, I must say I read your profile and found it very interesting.
