Seriously considered but looked like more trouble than it was worth especially when you compare the cost to what you could cerakote the gun for and get a far more durable finish so that's the route I went. I've also had great results twice using a mossy oak vinyl kit. They look good if you take your time installing and use a heat gun. Best of all, when you scratch it, pull it off and replace it for +\-$30 whereas with dipping it would be a costly repair.
