I had my turkey gun dipped last year. In less than one full season, it's in rough shape. The guy that did mine assured me it would hold up better than a factory camo finish but that has not even remotely been the case. The clear coat started peeling in multiple places after literally the first hunt and the camo is completely worn off now in multiple places, and the first turkey season with it post-dip isn't even over. I don't know if this particular guy just did a crappy job or if that's the norm for any aftermarket dip, but I've been really unimpressed.

At some point, I'll probably have it stripped and cerakoted, especially now that more and more people can cerakote a specific pattern.


There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:

1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
