Tap in hydrographic printing in youtubey and it'll make sense.

how well does it wear?

Comes with a warranty has a two pack final epoxy coat applied I think from memory.

Covered in a clear matt epoxy lacquer. Only done about 3 trips with it but no sign of ware yet. Mine was done by Paul at NZ Hydrographic Printing in Tauranga.

Jeremy at Auckland Hydrographics has bought in pattern for me that I wanted, just need to get a couple of stocks to him then they can be done, I plan to put a Cerakote clear coat over the top.

Certainly worth looking at if you are wanting a fancy pattern.

Hi Craig - hoped you might pop your nose in for a non DIY approach to the issue at hand...

Whats your eta for getting underway ??

Guess I'll hang out to see what you have to offer... Where you going to be based?

Not overly worried about fancy pattern, just like the matte black splattered with cowshit look....

Here's the other one I just had done

Not sure why it's upside done. Pretty crap photo but hopefully you get the idea.

Same chap as Shearer used did mine, Nice guy to deal with.

I checked and it's got a warranty for as long as the original person has it. Redone for free, none in four years so far.

+1 for Paul in Tauranga (Gate Pa) he did a Macmillan Sako 75 stock for me about 18 mo ago in kryptek for me. Brilliant job & still looks like new. He's doing a Tikka stock for me at present. Top job for under $100

@Biggun708 did you end up doing anything to your mod7?
