Title: Camo Dip and drill/tap
Post by: 5arraquiver on June 02, 2020, 02:45:48 PM
Is there a recommendation from anyone for good place to get my m3020 dipped? I'd also like to have it drilled and tapped for a red dot. Is there a one stop shop or better to have different places do the different job?
Thanks!!

I have heard a lot of good about Tarjac and they are near me and have a good reputation locally as well. http://www.tarjac.com/

Might be easier and cheaper to trade guns.

Rob Roberts Custom Gun Works has done dip/cerakote/drill & tap on 2 shotguns for me.  I was satisfied when i got them back and I've used them both for a couple of years now and remain satisfied.

In terms of TarJac, maybe its just me, but I do not want to have to completely disassemble my firearm before sending it in for the work.  Sometimes removing things like sights can require special tools that not everyone has.  I also want whoever does the work on my gun to re-assemble and test for function when the work is complete.

Unless they have changed something they will disable the gun for you for a fee. I can't comment on reassembly though. Just went and found it for you.

"Disassemble all firearms prior to shipping  ** if they are not disassembled prior to shipping there is a $30-$90.00 Fee for disassembly**" Can be found on this page on their site. http://www.tarjac.com/services.html

Ethridge Hydrographics does a killer job on the dip ,but I don't think they drill&tap. I too have an M3020 and used the Burris base #410333 as it was the lowest and looked the best to me. Good luck!

No problem brother, you can find some of the work Ethridge does by going to their FB page. If I had a gun that was gonna get dipped it WOULD BE  Ethridge. Every time I've sent them a message they've been very prompt in responding.

I just got my Stoeger m3020 back fro Tad at Carolina Graphic Enterprises. Had my gun drilled/tapped for my sumtoy mount and dipped.  I am very pleased with how the gun turned out. The process was smooth and seamless. Tad is great to work with.   Thanks to all my fellow turkey hunters for the help and advice.
