Funting Rifle

[M16LR.50]

Picked up a used savage 111 in 300 WM and decided I'd give my hand a try at beautifying it to my tastes.

Original condition:

First order of business... Sand down the seams along the entire stock.

Wish I took more pictures along the way, but I got caught up smoothing out the rough spots with fine grit paper and acuff pads etc.

Anyways, I had bought a DIY hydrographic dip kit and decided to put it to good use! Here is the end result:

Exactly! Lol

I decided "fuditary rifle" wouldn't really bring across the fun-hunting customization I did there haha

looks good

what hydro dip kit did you use? do you clear coat it after?

kind of curious how the dips hold up to scratches and rubs

I've been funting all my life and never had a rifle such as that.

I used two layers of clear coat on this particular application. I haven't been doing it long enough to give authorative perspective on longevity tbh. However, prior to buying the kit, I did some research and all the firearm related usage seemed to have great results. The kit I used was From http://www.mydipkit.com/ ... This will be my hunting rifle this season and I'll see how well the coat holds up

I am forced to credit you with a new term, as in,

"He's a real funt!"

"What a funting rifle!"

"I'd rather be funting."

"Funt this."

"Missed it by a funt hair..."

"Officer, I was funting."

"Merry Funting Christmas"
