Lancs Lad Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Here is/was my harrier x2. About 5 or 6 hours work over a week between layers. Cost about 4 quid per tin of paint, so aroun £20, plus nitromorse another fiver or so, wire wool, a trip to casualty, but thats another story.....(never rip wire wool,,,,it tends to slice right through your finger...s So there you go. You dont have to spend over 200 on hydro graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzyboi Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I thought that gun was traded in Did you tell us lies or did you realise your mistake and went back to the shop, begging and pleading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 gotta agree, looks like a really cheap stock now! Why would you do that to the nice walnut stock anyway (unless you put a major scratch in it or something??) Sorry, Just think it has destroyed that gun!!

monkeyjaimz Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 For me the proofs in the pudding, does it actually help to conceal the rifle in the field? if so then its a good job in my opinion I can understand why occasionally people get hung up on a rifle looking pleasing to the eye etc. but for me at the end of the day its a piece of hands on equipment - not an ornament to be looked at through a glass case. So like I said mate, if it works then kudos for saving yourself a fair few quid and also learning the perils of wire wool abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Wait till you scratch the paint work then again later like others said it looks like the paint job on a ww2 german tank cheap and tacky sorry just my view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Had rabbits run over me when out in the field. Yes dazzi, it was traded in....... The stock wasnt walnut, it was beech. Like monkey says, its a tool......................The stock did have its dings in it, these were rubbed out when finishing, it was multi laqured - matt finish then fine wire wooled to take more of the sheen off. I am never one to belive that your gun should be wrapped in cotton wool, fine if you have a set of purdeys etc etc, but for a 500 quid air gun, shotty etc etc....then be prepared..........for you will scratch it, but guess what...................WHO CARES. As for devaluing it, I got 650 for it when I traded it in. And it went out of the shop within a week............. But I miss it........................
