    No-mar Cloth Gun Tape

    hi guys i was wanting to cover my aa s410 in this stuff as i want a cheap camo job on my gun i knwo this wont come out with half as good finish as hydrographics but theres no way i can fork that much out for it i was just wondering if anybody has used this,what your reviews are on it?
    also i was worrying that because i would want to take it off everytime i went out hunting i wouldnt be able to oil the gun so would this cause rust or would the tape prevent rust?
    any help/advice would be much appreciated,thanks in advance

    Don't do it.
    Get some DPM or Flecktarn (an old shirt will do)
    Cut roughly to size and attach with elastic bands. (Your friendly postie will provide the bands for free.... usually by the bushes in front of your doorstep)

    I've seen an AAS400K ruined by sticky camo tape.....horrible.
    Has the added advantage of being easy to remove to clean and for when you want it to look llike a proper sporter instaed of a military sniper clone too.

    I'll post a pic of my AA410K when I get home later tonight.

    As Pete said, usually use scrim if anything, and even then just on the shiny bits.

    I have got no mar on my silencer, but it aint going anywhere near anything blued

    I cut up one of those cammo gun socks,front end slips over the barrel & buddy bottle,middle section cuts in two & fit's over the scope,stock bit obviously fit's the stock.I'm left with a small bit of wood where the trigger is also the mag & cocking bolt.Sorted.

    The scrim/gunsock idea is also superior to a hydrographics job in that it takes away all shine and reflection from the rifle. Half the battle is to make it as dull and not like a rifle as possible. Hydrographics look superb, but they still look like a rifle and still reflect shine.

    I have recently used this camo tape on an old guns action and barrel .

    I very carefully stuck it down and cut once roughly in place . After I was happy with the effect I finished it off with matt laquer which finished it off nicely and kept it waterproof .

    The rifle was not in good order ...... would I use it on a new gun , NO ! But good results can be achieved

    This is what you can do with a bit of camo material........ in my case an old Flecktarn shirt (Worth about £5 2nd hand from Flecktarn.co.uk)

    You can see the advantage of hiding the varnished beech stock if you look at the shine on the grip that is normally covered by the right hand.

    Yup. Just normal elastic bands. (found some black ones)
    The scope cover is a seperate small sheet with sticky velcro superglued to it.
    The silencer cover is superglued to itself and slides on and off, the bipod legs are just wrapped with small strips and superglued together.... although care has to be taken not to glue anything to the gun ....

    As I wear Flecktarn while out hunting it's impossible for the human eye to tell where gun ends and I begin.
