    New skirts on the old girls

    I decided to give a couple of my older toys a tart up a month or so back.

    First up: My 12yr old Tikka T3 that has done some serious miles. I got Paul @ NZ Hydrographic Printing to dip In Kryptek Mandrake pattern. He puts a matte finish clear coat on top to give it a very hard wearing protective layer, which has a nice dry feel to it.

    Second up: My old faithful Remington 11-87 Premier. I have had this for near 20 years and it has never missed a beat, back when they were made properly and with full steel. It gets well used, but also well maintained. Bluing had worn off in a lot of areas and the stock was scratched and marked to hell. I sent it off to Paul once again and he dipped the stock and forend in carbon fibre pattern, fully prepped primed and painted the action, barrel and some other bits as shown. All painted had a hardener additive so should wear well.

    Very happy with the end results, workmanship is excellent and much cheaper than buying a new gun/stock.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks @Rushy. The costs are very reasonable, especially given the quality workmanship and what Paul does to produce the it.

    Link to his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/hydrographicprinting/

    Paul responds quickly to Facebook messages.

    PM inbound regarding details on costs.

    Got the PM thanks. Not on Facebook so the link is not so useful to me but may be to others.

    Classic @Sarvo Had one in similar condition years ago. Nice wee rifles. Do you have the folding leaf sight still?

    Yes I do have it
    Was very afraid to take it off - but learnt the correct direction to tap it towards and - no problem
    I have another Hunter 222 also - it’s got the America Beaver Tail fore stock and it’s like new - think its 1956 a couple years younger.
    I will get it out 1 day and put on here.
    Got both of a chap that got them in form England – sure he on here somewhere watching
