I like this stuff

The tape is very easy to put on and take off and does not cost much.
Would not dream of spraying the metal, or wood, so that's not an option for me.
The tape is not sticky like duct tape and is easily removed.
The tape does, as you mentioned, provide a nice protective surface as well.
Johnny - that's kind of Camo I was looking for - I would not like to paint my rifle either.... Your link does not offer postage to Europe though

I use camoclad, which I picked up on e-bay, on the shotgun. It's great for decoying and protectes the gun.
They also do kits for jeeps, boats, quads etc.

Do you have to send your gun to them or can you do it yourself?
I'd be very interested, and what price?
PS I love the camo Shirt

I see they are in the states.
So that rules out my first question.
How neat does it look on the gun?
Will it peel off like an Onion in time??0 -

Just to quickly respond to Johnny_Coyle's earlier post, for the purposes of clarity:):Just wondering if he has any experience with any of the tapes
Nope, I don't have any experience with any of the tapes I mentioned - I wasn't recommending them as you will note from my earlier post, I was just pointing out another location (closer to home) where the O/P, Thomasofmel, might get the type of product he was looking for. Caveat Emptor, and all that!:D:rolleyes:and would care to give a field test
Nope again, I wouldn't be sticking anything onto my beloved rifles, tape or otherwise.:D
If I did have the need (which I don't at present) to camoflage my rifle, I'd probably use something like this:
possibly combined, if necessary, with a removable camo paint, such as EC Paint:
http://it.specops.pl/index.php/offer,nfm_fc_paint (Also supplied by Shooting Services in the UK)
All combined with some spray painted burlap strips or something similar to break up the shape of the rifle and scope, combined with finding a good spot for concealment / hide.
Or do as tack suggests:If you get a piece of green tactical mesh scarf it can work better
This way, you can change, adjust, or remove whichever camo treatment you've applied, depending on your location and the backdrop.
But as I said above, I'm not recommending the products I mentioned, just pointing out to Thomasofmel where he might reasonably order them from.
Hope that helps.0 -

I got it from the U.S.
I bid for it on ebay & got it for $9.99 plus $10 postage....worked out at the time about €15.
I see it for sale on U.S. sites for $25 but for some reason the postage from U.S. seems to be gone crazy lately......some are looking for $40 postage????
The kit is simple to fit.
It's like self - adhesive contact. It comes pre - cut to the shape of the gun. You just peel off the backing and apply. I found that going over it with a warm hair dryer & rubbing it with a cloth helped it to adhere to all the little groves and chequering.
It fits really well & many who see it think it a factory cammo job.
I've this one on the gun now for two years & no problems. Great camouflage & protects gun.
This is the second one I've fitted to that gun. The first (second picture) was on for three years. The local gardaí wanted to inspect the gun on renewal (Benelli Montrefeltro, left-handed, 12g semi-auto).
I had to bring it to the Garda Station. When there he wanted to check the serial number against that on the licence.....it couldn't be seen with the camo!!!
I couldn't remember exactly where the number was. I had to tear the camoclad in various places to try to find the number.....which I eventually found after 3 / 4 tears. The whole camo just stuck in place again at the time.
I found that the areas torn began to lift after a few weeks.....specks of dust had got in and adhesion was then poor. I bid for a new one on e-bay. I took off the old one and there wasn't a mark on the gun....no sticky residue...nothing.
My friend also has one on his semi-auto for past five years. Both guns do a lot of decoying and duck decoying, fox shoots etc. The guns have been soaked in showers on numerous occasions but the camoclad has remained in tact ...no problems.
It's much easier to apply with two people .....one holding the gun while the other applies it.
Yeah.....the shirt stands out but can't be seen from the front as the home-made face mask covers most of the front....was rushing that day and forgot camo shirt & neck scarf.
I live in the city so leave home in ordinary clothes...only change to camo gear when I get to the field.....keep the shooting as secret as possible driving through the city ......you never know who's watching your movements.
You are right on that one. I also drive into the field and park behind the ditch or get dropped off.
Last thing I want is someone waiting at the car
I was only messing about the shirt BTW. I wear camo all the time in various forms so people never know when I am going shooting
I might try this clad stuff on my Remington stock. I don't want to put it on my 105CTi not sure will it work out well on the rifles though, even the guy on the site maintains you have to cut and shape for a rifle.
I might apply it to my da's old shotty and see how it looks.0 -

yup i would have to agree i just got it today put it on and it's sh*t doesnt seem to like the rifleTackleberrywho wrote: »I bought one years ago, I did not like it as the shotgun was very slippy with it on foreend.
You have to cut it to suit your rifle/shotgun so they have a frayed edge straight away and after a while can rip

Yeah - I've used one.
I don't know about it on a rifle as I used it on a shotgun. They can be loose and slide & slip.
Fit it to the gun - cut out the sections you don't need (breech, bolt area etc) . Cut these out much smaller that the size you need as they will stretch in size when fitted. Cut out.....stretch on gun...cut out slightly more...continue until you have a good fit.
When all is ready get some brown or green insulation tape and wrap it around the barrel, breech, stock etc. in various spots. This will tighten it up, stop it sliding and make it fit snugly.0 -
