Title: Hydrodipped Stock
Post by: pickardjw on May 23, 2022, 07:56:08 PM: Anyone ever had a stock hydrodipped? Thinking about getting a T3x stock dipped. Or coated some other way. Any recommendations on a company?

I wonder if you get cash back through Active Junky with Cabelas on gun purchases...10% cash back would be nice on an $800 gun.

Post by: pickardjw on May 26, 2022, 06:14:35 PM: Anyone ever "painted" their own? I'm thinking the kind of textured, grippy, dripped lines that are on things like the Christensen Mesa. Google didn't really help when I tried to look it up. What's that called? Figure I might be able to spruce up a bare black stock with something like that

It's pretty easy . Both Rustolium and Krylon have a Webbing paint . Google " Webbing or Splatter painted stocks " and you should find what you want .
As far as Hydroprint I had NWHydroprint ( through Carp when he was offering it ) do a stock for me and 3 for a buddy . Mines going on at least 10 years and still not showing any signs of wear . Buddies are a couple years old know and still look great .
