Very useful and informative article, thanks a lot!
Although I will probably be too lazy to do all these. By the way, how long did it take you to finish painting?
We’ve spent all day painting my Remington 870 :)
Informative post and the end result is nice!
Just curious, how stock cote will live on Hogue stock? I think it can fall off after some time because of overmolded surface?
vanaheym, I will post an update after some time… Everything is ok after 2 trainings.
Hello-
I bought a Remington semi automatic 10 gauge camo shotgun in 2005 and have experienced
the camo paint covering to be very sticky to a point I can not hunt with it. Has this been a problem with this 10 s series came coated gun and who would I SPEAK TO ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM.
THANKS.
