Default My baby just came back!!!
Just got my Browning Gold back from the camo dip place! It came out so good and for $165, I could not be more pleased!

This thing looked like crap, but now looks like it came off the shelf.

Big Jim's Camo in GA did it. He doesn't use Realtree or Mossy Oak, so thus no royalties, thus saves the $ for the consumer. Very pleased!

Not sure what you are expecting, but that is nothing for a good job, which turned an old beat up synthetic gun into something that looks this good. Besides, local gunshops want 250 smackers to take the gun apart and ship it to get dipped.

I just wasn't expecting it to cost that much to get that done. I woulda thought that $165 woulda been on the high end. Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome but I just wasn't expecting it to be that high.

I dropped $225 in 2004 to have mine moly coated. Anything under 2 bills is a real deal!

That's a professional lookin' job. Cool pattern, too.

I have a 70 year-old Browning Auto 12 that I'd like to have something done like that, but, everybody tells me not to mess with it. Says it'll decrease the value.

Salty - a 70 year old Browning should not be dipped in camo. However, I would consider a professional restoration, and I am not talking about just any gunsmith! I am no professional, and I did not sleep in a Holiday Inn Express, but that is a collectors piece for sure!

Three gunsmiths told me not to touch it.
