Title: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: Old Gobbler on February 21, 2014, 02:20:14 PM
My beat up sp10's dip job was getting beat up ( my bad)MossyOak Graphics were kind enough to send over a mossy obsession kit -- let me tell you this is some tough stuff! It holds up well , and is relatively easy to apply - I did mine in 30 minutes and had a few small pieces to cover up the scope -- all you need is a hair dryer and a small knife -- this is a very affordable to dipping a gun again , and the film protects the original finish -

A big thanks to Mossy Oak Graphics  !!! Shannon  :icon_thumright:

I ordered a Mossy Oak New Bottomland gun kit from them last year for my Remington 870 20 gauge compact and I've had several buddies ask me where I got it dipped.  It looks that good!! :OGturkeyhead:

How does it cover up the ribs on the barrel? Seriously considering this to keep a Cerakote job on a Sx3 I have coming in. Looks really good.

How does this stuff hold up to being handled? Specifically speaking, does the camo wear off easily around the grip from being handled?

Post by: DirtNap647 on February 22, 2014, 06:30:06 AM
looks great :icon_thumright:....as far as durability I put camoclad natural gear print on a 222 predator gun and its still on there 4 years and running

To answer a couple of questions

The rib , in their video demo I think they apply the film from over top of the rib , and lap the edges underneath the bottom of the barrel so their is a seam on the bottom of the barrel and where the magazine would be covering it - and then they cut two lines and have the sides of the rib exposed - I took a different route , and came from underneath and there was no seam , I trimmed mine at the edge at the left and right top edge of the rib so there was no film over the top of the rib , then I cut out the areas that covered up the vents in the rib - heated it up with a hair drier and the sides of the rib were now camouflaged

How does it hold up to being handled ? Time will tell but my initial opinion is that it may actually be more durable than a camo dipped finish , I was told they put this same product on bass boats , trucks etc.... And does not fade - it looks to have a superior abrasion resistance

Camo clad is a good product but it's different from mo graphics , mo graphics is a pliable thick membrane that is impervious to moisture by the looks of it . I know it's hard to tell by pictures , but if you happen to see a box at a retail take a closer look at the product you will be impressed

Personally, I think you should send that gun to me, and let me field test her on some NH gobblers just to make sure everything is alright. :toothy12:
In all seriousness, that stuff really makes the ol' girl look great! Nice job!  :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

Here is the before picture (top gun) - the dip job I had , was a very  high quality job from about 6 years before , the only problem is years of very hard use - the grips get worn from use , I suspect deet mosquito repellent from my hands was a main culprit -  I've had this gun since 1994 -

Last year I retrofitted a 1187 ATI pistol grip to my sp 10 , and rattle can painted the stock

How would you remove it if you needed to?
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: Borden811 on February 22, 2014, 11:48:24 PM
It just peels off if you need to removed it. I just did a browning gold in MO bottomland. First time I tried it, and it looks pretty good. It's time consuming, but it's fairly easy, and it only cost 25 bucks.

What I can't figure out is how is it durable and easy to peel off? Seems like it would come undone when dragging it thru brush

It is probably easy to peel off in the sense that you can find the seams and then work the wrap off. I doubt say that dragging through the brush you will have that perfect branch catch it and rip it off your weapon.

If the adhesive process is like a car wrap type material then it is probably pretty stout. However, anything can happen and I am sure there is that scenario where it could unravel like a banana peel.
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: Borden811 on February 23, 2014, 08:29:19 AM
You'd have to find a seam, and work to get it started, then peel it off. Make no mistake, you'd have to work to get it off, and it would take a bit of your time. The browning I just did that I referenced in my post above, had a waterfowl pattern on it, that was the same mossy oak kit. It took me about an hour to get it all off. But once I did, you couldn't tell it was ever on the gun. No residue, no marring, water had never gotten under it, etc. it looks like pretty decent stuff.

How hard was it around the bolt/ejection port around the receiver? Is it something that just takes time to lay it down right?
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: Borden811 on February 23, 2014, 06:52:12 PM
That was one of the easier parts. The piece that goes over the receiver is flat. You just Lay it on over the whole side of the receiver, and then take the exacto knife, and run the blade right around the edge of the opening. Cuts it out perfect!
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: jdavenp3 on February 23, 2014, 07:15:54 PM
What would you say will be the most difficult? If I cut around the ribs? Or just the time it takes to cut out the push pins and all of the small stuff?
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: Old Gobbler on February 23, 2014, 07:34:13 PM
I just layed it over the action pins , didn't bother cutting those out , when I have to service the gun , I'll cut them out then , I guess


Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: Borden811 on February 23, 2014, 08:13:22 PM
I cut the action pins out, didn't take but a few seconds. The most time consuming part for me was using the heat gun and getting it laid down around the curves without any wrinkles. I didn't do my rib. It really wasn't hard, just time consuming. Give it a shot, you'll be glad you did.
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: jdavenp3 on February 23, 2014, 08:35:49 PM
Best place to order it directly from Mossy Oak? I have some Cabela's points but don't see it on there anywhere...
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: Old Gobbler on February 23, 2014, 08:40:52 PM
I would presume , the manufacturer has the best inventory on hand - it took about 2-3 days to get it -
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: camodawg on February 23, 2014, 09:03:16 PM
I just layed it over the action pins also. And I stopped the wrap at the vent rib. That was the easiest and it still looks good to me.
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: jdavenp3 on February 23, 2014, 09:56:39 PM
They actually DO have these at Cabelas if anyone is looking. $30 but limited to Mossy Oak Infinity and Duck Blind.They also have scope wraps as well for those of you with mounted optics.

Since I have a few dollars built up there I will probably go with the Infinity kit.

Link is below if anyone was wanting to check them out. 15 reviews with a 4.8 star rating. Seems like everyone enjoys them.

Do you think your aftermarket stocks have more or less surface area than the original stock?

I watched the video, and one thing I was wondering is how to do the seams. Do you cut them like you would when wallpapering or just leave them overlapped? They mentioned something about cutting a wavey line but not whether you pull up the cut from underneath or not, like you would when seaming wallpaper.

Well, I just ordered a set in Obsession.  Not sure if I'll put it on the 835 or my old 20 gauge that I may take out this year.
Title: Re: Mossy Oak Graphics
Post by: jblackburn on April 03, 2014, 01:11:22 PM
Put the MO Graphics on my old Revelation 20 gauge that I plan on using some this spring.  The graphics are pretty easy to put on, the most trouble I had was on the forearm where it tapers down.  Couple wrinkles in total, but for $22 on Amazon and about 2 hours of time, I'm ok with it!  It also took a lot less heat from the hair dryer than I was anticipating.

Here are some before and after pics.

I didn't do a pistol grip tactical stock, but I did just do my adjustable length stock today. I took some pictures, just haven't had time to load them up yet.

For those who are wondering about the Remington shurshot stocks, I'd say there probably isn't quite enough material, but you can end up with quite a bit of leftover material depending on how you choose to cut it. So there could be enough material, but I'd say unlikely. How much material you end up with leftover total? I'm not sure because I only did my stock. My forend is factory camo'ed and the barrel I plan on getting for the gun is also factory camo'ed.

Having said all that, I'm not sure I'd ever pay the extra bucks to buy another factory camo gun, depending on the price difference of course, knowing that this product exists. I personally prefer wood/ blued guns, they tend to hold their value better than synthetic guns, and they also have that more classic look. In the field however I prefer having camo (because I'm a sucker, lol) and I also like the added durability that comes with a dipped gun being made out of composite materials. With this you can have the best of both worlds assuming you have the patience to spend a few hours working on your gun. You will most likely end up with a couple imperfections that are only ever known to you, because you saw them happen, and to you they'll stick out like a sore thumb even though no one else would ever know the difference.

In the area I live the difference between a Browning A5 or BPS in camo or one in plain black, or wood and blued is about 150 bucks. If you're looking at a Benelli SBEII You're paying an extra 300 bucks to have it in Max4 over plain black. For me personally the $30 cost of the kit, and the possibility of having a wrinkle here or there far outweighs the extra cost I'd have to incur to have a factory camo offering. With this, I also have the ability to try another pattern if I get sick of Mossy Oak Infinity.

Post by: Snoodsniper on July 01, 2014, 09:55:22 PM
Before I had my turkey gun dipped I bought a one foot wide piece of the MO graphics and used it instead of the precut gun kit. This gave me plenty to do my tactical stock and it really wasn't much more difficult than using the precut kit. Plus I think it was about 5 bucks cheaper if I remember correctly. I laid the graphics out with the backing side up traced around each part of the gun and cut an inch or so outside the lines to make up for contours and such.

Most of the reviews that I have seen on here are for wrapping a wood stock and I plan on wrapping a black synthetic Remington 1187. I wouldn't think there are any differences but wanted to check and see if anyone experienced any issues or if there were any updates for these mossy oak gun wraps.

I plan on getting the obsession and setting up this 1187 as a secondary or spare turkey gun.

What happens on the seams where the 2 different pieces of the wrap meet on the butt of the gun - do you over lap or just try and line up the 2 pieces of materials? I have watched the short tutorial video they have posted and they sure make it look easy - my wife performs surgery from time to time and I told her to bring home her scalpel and she will make the cuts in and around the trigger and barrel.

any input or advice is greatly appreciated - thank you.

I did a synthetic stock h&r 20 ga and it worked great.  I overlapped mine on the but stock.  It has a few wrinkles, but nothing to fret over.  The but stock to me was definitely the hardest part.  All I can say is take you're time and it will turn out great.  I've only done one and I'm sure there are more on here that have much more experience, but mine turned out great.  And have a sharp exacta knife

A member on here was kind enough to send me some left over pieces to put on a scope and it was more than enough to put on the receiver/barrel of my 500 so I did that this past spring.  What I did ain't pretty but I was just wanting to cover up the barrel and receiver to knock of the shine (blued barrel)  I would definitely purchase it.
