    Camo Rifle Tape

    I saw a roll of the camo tape in a H&F store that only sticks to itself and was considering applying it to parts of my rifle (Suppressor and Scope) for protection. Just want to help prevent scratches etc.

    Does anyone know if rust or corrosion builds up under the tape if it gets wet? Lemme know what youve done or suggest. Thanks guys

    I wrapped my scope and suppressor in it and had no problems but always dried my rifle off well before putting in the safe

    Do you dry the scope and suppressor somehow? Or just run a towel over the tape?

    I put my suppressor with tape right next to the fire after going for an inadvertent swim and it was sweet.

    The materials scope and suppressors are made of it's not much of an issue?

    It is a hard wearing, baked on paint.

    I have a barrel and a pistol frame done.
    The slide guide on the pistol doesnt even look like wearing after heaps of rounds.

    Stu Geal at Greystone guns does it. Highly recommend Stu and cerikote as a durable coating. Pricey but.

    I hear ya. I tape all my scopes with the self adhesive camo bandage stuff.
    Works a treat. No residue and easy to apply and remove.
