" Yeah too bad that gun had to suffer through that camo tape."
The cloth type camo tape... every couple years it gets a new camo job. I don't take the old stuff off... I just add another layer. The gun's getting bigger and bigger. There's probably 3-4 layers.
I have NO idea what the condition of the metal is under all that tape, after years of rain and snow. And ya know what? I don't care. That's the beauty of it.
