I think I saw someone looking for what getting your stocked dipped adds to the weight. I just had a Remington Model Seven stock dipped in Vias. Weight before was 1lb 5.6oz after 1lb 7.0oz. total add 1.4oz. Matte clear coat over dip.

Looks good. Thought about having my tikka stock dipped.

I've had lots of firearms hydrodipped... I believe your weight increase since numbers don't lie... but it seems hard to believe that the increase is even measurable. Its just paint and a film as thick as a hair.

Yes I was extremely surprised. I actually weighed it twice each time and the weights were exactly the same.

Not sure yet. Seems pretty durable I'll let you know after next deer season!

Sorry for the thread resurrection. Well it’s been a few seasons now. What’s the verdict on hydrodip.com’s durability? I’m in the market to get a stock dipped.

Could’ve been even heavier with a darker color
