    Camo wrap on a springer..

    I see camo wrap advertised that only sticks to itself and is meant to be robust ect.
    Anyone tried it on a break barrel or underbarrel? I wonder if it stands up to being handled a lot?
    I am tempted to do just the barrels and underlevers of my "working" guns.

    I did want them cerakoted but never have any luck contacting LSD!

    Thank you

    Camo is at best, a temporary solution imho.

    Ceramic coating is a far better way if you wish to put the money in.

    If its a hard wearing tool, I would argue its a sensible option.

    For non working guns, its a waste unless you are a tackle tart.

    Mine are working so I see the benefit of ceramics..... but would I spend a lot of money on a cerakote..... well yes but I would choose carefully. Personally, I don't shoot springers as I prefer either PCP or rim/centre fires.

    Even if I did, I dont think the value of springers is worth it vs the cost of a pukker cerakote job.

    If it's the one that clings to it self then dont get it wet.

    They use it for bandaging too and I had it on my hand when I broke my finger. They wrapped the broken finger to a good one
    The bandage got wet and went sticky and started falling to bits.

    That's if it's this type . https://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/ki...oogle_shopping

    It works well but looks untidy and scruffy, It does what its meant to on a budget,

    I have come across this bandage. It would do the intended purpose but I don't think it would stand up to weeks of use. I think it would have to be reapplied after most outings. Not good for constant handling.
    Repariere nicht, was nicht kaputtist.

    A camo neoprene tube cover might be better for the barrel & lever, with holes cut for sights & latches
    Nothing cheap is going to take a lot of physical contact/rubbing/handling, and even dipping or paint will gradually wear & fade,
    I suspect cerakote would eventually fade & wear at the point you hold, to cock the rifle.

    Maybe try some camo vinyl wrap.. Easy to do and remove on a barrel.
