If you did it yourself how hard was it? How durable is it? Thanks Last edited by Abram; 07/31/20 08:22 PM. But who prays for Satan?

I really want a Boyds pepper laminate stock but with all of the options the one I would cost 300.00, I will keep researching my options. Thank you But who prays for Satan?

May need to consider the applicator to though. It is possible to spray a clear cerakote over a hydro dipped part. Gun solvents won't take it off then either.

I had the water temp right and everything and could not get the film to do right. Looks like crap up close but the turkeys didn't seem to mind it much.
