I know several people that have used Camo Solutions. There one of the top dippers. Check out there website there's a link to there process. They completely strip the gun to bare metal before primer no scuff up and dip operation. The only thing I'd say about the MO Bottomland ...the new guns look off the grey in the patterns looks almost white it is a drastic difference when side by side with a 1990's factory dipped MO Bottomland. The same thing with the new camo clothes same off grey background. I haven't seen a gun dipped that looks like the originals no matter who did the job. And for some reason the patterns run up and down from bottom of reciever to top instead of the length of the gun from buttstock to choke tube like the originals ,looks odd in itself.

I appreciate the feedback. I've been looking for someone to dip a few more of my shotguns to hopefully match the ones that I have now, but I can see what your referring too.

How does that tree hawk shoot?

Can't complain at all to be honest. For open sights, it shoots pretty good. I considered putting a red dot on it, but doubtful I will. I just like the looks of the original stock options.

I like how they look too. I had an opportunity to buy one just like but didn't after hearing from a few others they weren't the most accurate guns, wish I had now. What happened to the receiver on the green leaf New England? Or is that how it came?

Some of the original paint was coming off the receiver on the green leaf and the original bottomland 20 ga, so I decided to get them stripped and prepared for a patriot brown cerakoting.
