Hiding ugly

[Hunt anything]

That looks great, I have a .204 Ruger and I bought my daughter a .308 and both are extremely accurate. I may have to look into dipping them as they are butt ugly!

 

[Randy F]

I really like how that turned out. Well done!

I love hydrodipped wood grain patterns. I have a composite stock on a savage that has fooled many people into thinking it’s a nice exotic wood. Check out the pattern WTP 261. It’s called dark black gunstock. I’ll post a picture later today. I’m going to have my KRG Bravo dipped in it soon.

Misleading title. I thought we were going to talk about leaving our wives in the closet when company comes over. Hahahaha.

Seriously though, that is fantastic. I too have a RA in a lefty 30/06. Nice to carry and excellent hunting accuracy.

I don’t like the look of plastic tip bullets so maybe I should dip them with a lead color paint. Any ideas on a good process?

 

[AZDAVE]

They are ugly and the ruger american and the savage axis have surprised a bunch of people on just how accurate they are. are they a smooth as a much higher end rifle no, but they shoot and are a great truck/ATV gun that work.

The hydro dip that you did is a very clever way of upgrading a tupperware POS stock. Still a POS but now just not as ugly

I’ve heard that only accurate rifles are interesting so I think you’ve done a good job with the stock upgrade.

The accuracy of these cheapo rifles has really shown how far automated manufacturing has come. It’s quite amazing.

I had a plastic stock hydro dipped and then sprayed with an automotive clear coat for durability. Turned out great. As did yours. The wood trigger guard is awesome!

MS 9X56, that turned out nice. I agree the stocks on the American are ugly, but you’ve made it into a nice rifle to look at.

I had this sprayed with a satin clear coat as Being a hunting rifle I didn’t want it to shine.

Thank you. It was not my intention to pretty it up, as I just have an unnatural hatred of black plastic stocks. Started with an M-16.

 

[MS 9x56]

May be Ruger should see it.

Thought of sending it to them but then they would raise the price $300.

 

[MS 9x56]

I too hate synthetic stocks, but I understand for bad weather they are great. I would not have thought to have the stock dipped either. That certainly is now an option to consider. Who did the dipping?

The guy who did it moved away 2 years ago so I don't have contact info. Most places that do hydro dipping have catalogs of the patterns they offer. He showed me walnut, curly maply, the burl wood pattern and even a knotty pine pattern. I was really pleased with the result. He also offered either high gloss or satin clear coat over the dip.He was just getting started when I had it done. Only charged me $75. Great investment.

 

[MS 9x56]

Where can we get a custom wood trigger guard?!!!

All you gotta doe is dip.

Amen to that brother.

 

[Rubberhead]

The gun turned out nice. I must admit, though, because of the title I thought you had gotten a Corvette.

I wonder how much it would cost to dip a Vette?

 

[Safari Dave]

I don't know how to feel about mine, that will outshoot at least 4 of my $1,500+ bolt actions...

Not without that licensing agreement/contract. Don't cheat yourself as they do you. Be kind. $1/M units sold.

I love it, looks awesome!!
