Bad Paintjob
I get it, not everybody wants their rifle to blend in with the surroundings. This one just caused me mental anguish due to the type of rifle that was painted.

What's the environment that deserves this kind of dazzle-paint? Rigel-II? Deep Space Nine? Geez!

The window of a lifted 4x4 dually (with matching flames), behind the head of the dyed hair, energy drink swilling "xtremer".

Blending....
Looks like a '60s anti war sniper weapon, commie and blends well with LSD. At least it wasn't a Lazzeroni.

I bet somewhere else, there is a car fender and/or mailbox with a slightly-improved version of real flames. I went to an Air Brushing class in Las Vegas a few years ago, but never took up the hobby. I understand why someone did this.
This however, is far more egregious....

It's actually sort of cute. Somebody went to a lot of work on the paint job; NTM that it's a parts gun with a real mish-mash of parts. Certainly one of a kind.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

To be fair, there are so many Mosin-Nagants out there that one or two personalized ones aren't that bad.
Besides, if you don't like it, you can call it a project gun and strip and refinish it...

Looks like he watched a Mike Lavallee video, went out and bought him a cheap Badger airbrush and just had to try doin a "True Fire" paint job.
Its not even a good interpretation of True Fire.
