A buddy picked up a used one off of ebay for pretty cheap. It didn't match his gun (Realtree HD Green) so he bought some camo clad permanent in realtree. with the right prep and some time and patience, he got a virtually new stock in the camo he wanted for about 1/3 the normal price. That was 4 years ago and it still looks just as good as a dipped finish...probably tougher...
