Wanting to customize the looks on my rifle once I get the new barrel on it, anyone ever used these guys?

Seems like they stand behind the durability and can take it off if you ever wanna sell it, or swap scopes...

Is it any cheaper than hydrographics?

Looks interesting. Would like to see how it's applied. I'd guess heat it and it works kinda like shrink wrap.


It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Yea instruction show a heat gun, but I don't understand a 5 yr durability rating, if its easily removed and leaves no residue scratch

I don't have any experience with that company but I used a Mossy Oak brand gun wrap on one of my shotguns. It looks awesome and unless you are looking at it from 12 inches or less you can't tell it didn't come that way from the factory. I would imagine that company you posted has a product that is very similar. I did it myself with a blow dryer and X-acto knife...took me about 45 min.

Here's mine:

DocHorton your shotgun is very impressive, nice job and sounds quite easy to do.

Much cheaper than having it dipped. Looks great.
