Is this a "dip" process or a heat shrink to fit film?

it goes on like a sticker. You use a heat gun to mold it around curves. The heat also activates the glue. I got to taking with the gunskins people and was asking about how much heat abuse the wrap on a barrel could take. He wasn’t sure it would hold up to mag dumping a few hundred rounds but didn’t say it wouldn’t. I decided to test it out. I took my Tnw and put on the 9mm barrel. I shot 200 rounds through it in a fairly controlled speed. The gunskin held up perfectly. I love these wraps

Sweet, thanks.

Range day is always a good day

Last time I shot was two years ago when I killed my Mule Deer buck in Montana. Getting TO a range I'm willing to do business with, or, being able to go when they're available to me... this has been a constant challenge. The easiest one to access is about a 3 hour drive (one way). Closer ones aren't convenient for times, or, are ones I refuse to do business with, due to their prejudicial attitude towards the AR platform.

I am lucky enough to have a close friend that has a range on his empty property about 20 minutes from me. It’s great for now but as the town keeps pushing further and further north I don’t see many more years of being allowed to shoot out there

 

[Itsazonik]

It’s not a huge range but there are 2 ponds on the property with some really nice bass in them

Nothing like a concrete shooting bench for stability. Good lookin' worm-getter there.

That table makes it so easy with the lead sled to sight in a rifle. Everyone I know has me sight in their rifles. The range is 50 yards. I have found that’s the perfect distance

Keep adding to the collection??? Smith & Wesson m&p shield bug out kit and a 358 Winchester ar-10 build that’s almost finished..

My new LWRC. Love this gun. Could possibly be my new night hunting with thermal gun.
Building a 450Bushmaster single shot also. Will be a hard decission. --- pruhdlr

Wrapped the M&p shield. It didn’t come out perfect. My heat gun died half way through wrapping it. Had to finish it for now with the wife’s hair drier. I’ll get a new heat gun this weekend and clean it up a bit

 

[Itsazonik]

Well I have started loading for my 358 Winchester ar-10. Slightly bigger than a 308

 

[Itsazonik]

So in my wrapping adventures I decided since a friend has left his muzzleloader with me because he can’t figure out why it won’t shoot I would wrap it for him. This is what happens when you drop off a gun with me and say “fix this, it doesn’t work”. Hope he likes it

How about a back up for hunting? Glock 20 with a vortex venom

As the old saying goes: "Don't get mad, don't get even... stay ONE ahead."

So I love the Glock 20 but a friend offered me a trade I couldn’t say no to. So I traded my Glock 10mm……. For a Glock 10mm

 

[Chopperdrvr]

No harm, no foul!

 

[Itsazonik]

Well I have both the Glock 40mos and the m&p 40 sighted in. Both shoot great with the red dots out to 30 yards. I need to practice at longer distance

 

[Itsazonik]

Added another 10mm to the collection. Springfield xdm elite

Let’s know how the Springfield 10mm shoots.
