Talk to Don at Camo Solutions. He did my FF2 without any issues and it looks great. Like you, I was apprehensive that it would be ruined in the process, but he assured me that it wouldn't be a problem. He informed me that he has no issues dipping quality optics such as Burris, etc, but won't mess with the cheaper variety as they don't survive being submerged. If it can be done, Don will know.
