gun dipping snow camo
 

i seen some talk on this a few years ago, tony from the camo shop was one of the names looking thru the search....but its been a few years...i got a new englander 50 cal barrel and a grey hawk stock that Id like to get dipped in snow camo and use the ss parts from the grey hawk to finish it up. has anyone had a gun dipped lately ? i thought some one here was doing it but I can't find it....thanks ed :party0005:

I was doing them but stopped a while ago. Snow camo is really fun to work with. The prep work however sucks lol. I think sabotloader has a guy that does them, check with him.

i though it was you but i wasn't sure. it was sabotloader who started the post i seen :)

Ed,

There's a guy near me who does camo dipping. If you'd like, I'll PM you his info.

left them a message today, going to go with the mothwing winter mimicry lol the moth makes me think of the silence of the lambs movie

sent a black diamond stock to tall tines today, Ed from tall tines seems like a great guy, very easy to deal with. i'll post a photo when its back, going to do the new englander next

i went with tru timber snowfall.....he said it looks great on a gun

Ed...

Glad to see you went with TallTines for your dip work. He's a local guy that I went to school with and he's always been a good person in my book so I'm sure he'll do a good job for you! He's been doing this as a full time business for some time now.

ok a little late here and not about dipping guns
BUT if anyone wanted a easy quick snow camo to add to a gun and one that is removable.
I found over the yrs, getting an ACE Bandage like WHITE self sticking wrap one, , you can wrap your gun in WHITE< add black browh as you want in spray paint or a marker, and have a rather handy snow camo coating on your gun, it also in pretty tacky to hold onto, I however don't add to my main hold area';s on gun to be safe as can be>
But for about 10 bucks you can have a gun snow camo'd and be off in a few seconds when NOT wanted

so, just food for thought for anyone thinking about it
OR a decent way to see how it MIGHT look, before doing more permanent

talltines did a great job, really nice guy too, when it was done he called me and asked if i wanted a photo while it cured for another couple days. i'm super happy. were in a good snow storm, i dont got time to put the gun together lol

I started this thinking i'll do a new englander i have, but switched to the black diamond untill I switch to the partridge sights.... I'm stuck on how to leave the sights...i'm thinking on taking the top peice off the rear sight and having the frount sight dipped and just just paint the part of the frount sight ,that you look at to sight the gun

Ed...

Here's my $.02 and you can take it from there. The stock looks GREAT!! Haven't seen the barrel yet BUT, I wouldn't waste my time or $$ having the front or rear sights dipped. You may want to change one or the other down the road. Not to mention the fact that you will have to mount them afterward and from time to time, move them, whether by screwdriver or hammer and punch.

The rifle will look just fine with blued/black sights on top of a camo dipped stock and barrel. We all know sights are a "wear" item, they stick out and are subject to being bumped. That's why we always shoot our rifles prior to a hunt. What you do is your business Bud, but I wouldn't have the sights dipped for those reasons.

Excellent thanks for the input I've been going back and forth with this . Makes sense

I luv it.Looks great.

Very nice looking stock. I just never saw the need for doing that. Not that I have anything against others having it done. If that look is what you want, more power to you. I like wood! But being different is what makes us interesting. I bet that is going to be really sharp. Just be careful where you put it or lean it this winter.

I, like you, favor wood stocks and traditional looks. That said, I do like the looks of some of those camo dipped stocks. I would never have one of my walnut stocked ML's dipped but I bought a used TC Firestorm flinter with a black synthetic stock a few years back and I think that pattern would look good vs the plain black stock it has. Not only that, it would match up with the snow camo coveralls I wear during our late season, providing we have snow.

BPS

got all the parts to finish this gun.....one reveiw of the TC scope said rings were not so good but scope is good so I replace with see thru silver rings

i got the sights i want for the new englander i just got to take off the iron sights and get the barrel and stock dipped

I wouldn't be so quick to judge those rings Ed, there's always someone out there with a bad review on something, no matter what it is. I would use them with the scope if I were you, they definitely match the camo you had put on the rifle. You can always go with the silver ones later if they don't work well.

BPS

i've found the same thing about reviews i really don't see that there poor....thats a good idea the reveiws said the scope was as good as the banner dust to dawn scopes which i like....looking thru it it does look good i don't see any reason to use 150 grans of power lol I'll see how the rings do

scope was like 100 bucks and maybe 10 for shipping.....not too bad

rear sight stops the lens cover, stripped 2 screws in the rings tighting them down......lol scope looks good, rings ok, screws were crap lol
