This fellow does it at his home in his shop and was very reasonable. He charged $150

This gun had one of gaudy large front sites on it. It had a set screw in the front which would not come out so I ended up drilling it out. After removing the sight I was left with a chunk of steel  that was sure to hang up on everything in the woods. I very carefully ground that piece off taking my time and not letting the barrel heat up to much. Then used a file and sandpaper to dress it up . After the dip you cant tell it was ever there.

Are I alone in my thinking in that gun bears a rather striking resemblance to a Benelli Nova?

Nice looking dip job.  I really like that Realtree pattern too.  I've always thought that pattern looks good on a shotgun.

Question for all. I'm planning on dipping a gun. Pricing seems to vary quite a bit.
They put the dip film in water? Right? Can it rust? As long as the coasting doesn't come off?? Do I need to worry about internals of the receiver after?
