labrador Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Recently purchased my new SBEII. Its the 1st shotgun I've owned with a camo finish (MAX4). I love it so far, but since my gun WILL GET WET, I'm wondering about the camo coating. Should I expect this stuff to scratch off easily? Do I need to "baby" it? And, can I oil it up good at the end of the day without fear of the oil degrading the camo ? It's beautiful now and I want it to stay that way. Quote
chiro 835 Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 My SBE in max 4 does seem to chip with ease...I always oiled my 835 but don't know about the max4. Keep me posted. Quote
labrador Posted August 2, 2004 Author Posted August 2, 2004 Thanks Chiro. I'll let you know, hopefully you won't here any thing about "chipping or scratching"!!! [ 08-02-2004, 11:07 AM: Message edited by: labrador ] Quote
FIB Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 I have a M1 w/the older Hardwoods camo. and found it to be very durable. The only "scratches" in the finish were caused when I hit the barrel against metal things like a barbed wire fence. I never had problems with "chipping" Quote
