Title: Discovery Custom Build
Post by: honda191 on February 09, 2015, 12:08:40 PM
I have 2 Discoveries 1 is in real good shape I hunt and shoot it a lot love it!! The other my son put it away damp in a gun case and after some months I opened it up and found the steel was rusted and the stock was all mold actually etched into the wood.  I decided since we do HydroGraphics Dipping at our shop to camo the stock and try to salvage it I just didn't quite like the finished look and the fact that the barrel and air tube were all pitted from the rust I then decided to do a full custom build and finish using the custom parts from BNM and some of the custom tricks we learned in the dipping.. Started out with a Black Carbon Fiber Dip finished with a Red Candy Paint and Clear Coat for the Stock and Air Tube.  For the mechanical Mods I used the Chrome Finish Breach and Barrel Shroud From BNM... The Parts from BNM are amazing for Quality and totally made the Gun for looks and function I think it turned out pretty nice..  I'll post a few pics

I have thought about the vinyl wrapping for the stock on my Discovery .22.  I would hope it would look as nice as yours does.

Actually Hydrographics Water Transfer Printing we do this to some of our custom bikes we restore looks sometimes better than original especially in Camo or Carbon Fiber for the Frames...

As they used to say "that is way awesome"!  If your shop did this commercially how much would it cost?

Cost would be around $200.00 less with no custom paint just pattern and clear coat..
