I like that. Hmmm, I am just putting together my first Encore
and was thinking about having it dura-coated... Might just
try a rattle can on it first. Probably won't be as
durable, but lot cheaper, and I could touch it up whenever
I wanted.

9.3 x 74R 24" SSK barrel, .860 at the muzzle T'SOB mounts with a 1.5-6 x 42 Nikon 30mm tube German #4 Prohunter frame, black thumbhole flextech I'll freely admit it, I am infatuated with that caliber  After shooting it awhile in my No. 1, can't get enough of it. Though I will admit, if they had offered the 375 H&H in a 1-S instead of the 1-H, I would probably have went that way and never discovered the 9.3

How is the krylon holding up on the metal parts? I have used a little DuraCoat but nothing this creative......looks great!

BTW - it is a veddy kewl lookin' rig. Luckily, I don't suffer from the same kind of boredom that inspired you. OTOH, maybe I'm unlucky?

I went hunting with a good friend one time and his young son had a camo wallet. Go figure.
How do you degrease the metal and stock to get the spray paint to stick? Is it the regular crack head inhaling Krylon or some special kind? I have a couple of junkers I might experiment on.

Good job you did !...I did my TC Muzzleloader and am pleased with it. Stocks are factory of course but the rest is DIY. Not the best pic ever taken but... ![[Linked Image]](http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac48/riflemandeg/P1000339.jpg)

![[Linked Image]](http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu202/picturestone/DSC_0744.jpg) I did the same to an old 870 I had rusting in the closet. Made it into a whole new gun. I look at junker guns in a whole new way now .... as a blank slate on which I can express my inner camo.
