i had my slippery omega stock coated with the rubber grip coating. had it done by a big online hydro dipping company. problem is that it wears off and sheds like peeling sunburned skin after a while.it does add a cool feel to the stock especially the omega stock that for some reason has no texturing to it at all.i think thompson center should re-design that stock. its slippery like an eel. duracoat offers a coating too. sounds like the stuff you bought is different. give us a report at the end of the season as to how it holds up.
