I have an Xbolt Stainless stalker from 2010. It looks so scratched because that Dura touch. I hate that stuff.

If it has a "gummy/sticky" feel, they will re-dip it, or replace free of charge. I had one done.....

Not in years...

Getting ready to send back my 4th DT Browning, a NWTF BPS...

The previous 3 have been fixed perfectly!

I sent back 2 X-Bolts that had the sticky feel.  They replaced the stocks fairly quickly and without issue.  The new stocks have a very plastic feel and were black just like my duratouch.  If yours is camo, I don't know whether you will get camo again.   If not, you could send to Rob Roberts and have dipped.  Didn't bother me that much so I have kept them black as is.

I liked it too, until it turned into a sticky maple syrup mess, and they all will, eventually.

This is true. Mine was not bad, in fact I liked it. The Browning person told me it will eventually fail and become a real mess. I sent mine in, they re-dipped it perfectly no issues. The cover all costs, shipping etc.......

They have to help you, there is a class action lawsuit. I posted the link to get in touch with them earlier in thread.

I've got one at Browning right now for the recall replacement. Not sure how long to expect it to take, but the process of getting the return label and paperwork completed was very easy.

Pretty sure that's a negative. They do it in the same color or camo pattern that it was. Unless that pattern isn't offered anymore then they do it in the pattern that replaced it. I sent my camo citori back several years ago. They did a great job.

I believe Carolina graphic designs is taking care of any of the problems from the dura touch problems.   They do a incredible job of dipping fire arms

No.

Or, at least, they wouldn't a few years back.  Sent an SX3 Waterfowl in.  Asked if they could dip it M.O. Bottomland instead of Shadowgrass since the gun's ONLY duty was turkey hunting..  Nope.  Had to be re-dipped the original finish to preserve the "collector value" of the gun.   :TooFunny: Collector value on a SX3 !!  :TooFunny:

Anyways.......... It came back dipped Blades.  Not Shadowgrass.   So much for my "collector's value", I guess.   ::)
