Steve29 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hijacked someone else's topic with this question and got no response, so thought I'd start my own. Can any longer term owners report back on the durability of the carbon fibre duratouch finish? I'm thinking about buying one as a hide/clay gun, and just want to be sure it won't look a mess in 12 months. I've seen hints online to issues with it peeling, yellowing and cracking, but nothing solid. This model feels far better than the composite IMO and looks the dogs, so keen on it if it wears OK. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churchill Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've put around 5-6 thousand carts through mine now, its about six months old and its absolutely fine. However i've seen one where the gent had hit the barrels against the metal shooting stand and it damaged the finish and showed a spot of silver steel underneath the coating. I hope that helps.

Thanks Hello Mine has had a fair bit of use and is still flawless . I wouldn't worry about durability at all. Every cammo gun I have seen show the pattern wearing off or thin .
