Interest in G&R Tactical Hydro Dipped AR's???

[C4IGrant]

A Hydro Dipper local to us is wanting to get into doing AR's so we sent them two of our rifles. Having never had a gun hydro dipped before, I was unsure how it would work out. The two camo patterns I chose was the Kryptek Highlander and Multicam.

I was pleased with how everything came out and am going to have them do my night fighting gun in Kryptek Typhon (will post pics when that one is completed).

So I am wondering if folks would be interested in brand new AR's that have been dipped and ready to ship (read no waiting)?? Was thinking the cost would be around $200 which includes the upper and lower receivers, rail, stock and grip. One magazine would also be done.

Feedback is welcome.

Looks good! What did they use for a clear coat?

If I decide to buy another AR, I would definitely be interested. I've been toying with the idea of having one of mine done in Multicam, but I don't like the idea of sending it off (there is no one local who does it) and then having to wait for its return.

Is it just me, or does the pattern seem much smaller that usual?

How does it compare in durability to cerakote?

Some automotive clear coat. Said they had good luck with it on other things they have dipped.

Ya, that is the catch with this stuff. By the time you pay for shipping (two ways) + disassemble/reassemble you can get into some high costs.

Our goal is to remove the shipping expense + properly assemble the gun.

Cerakote is going to be more rugged, but you don't get the same type of patterns. So it really depends on what you are after.

How about an option to just buy some pre-dipped furniture?

Why must you persist upon separating me from my moola....I would imagine that there would be a semi-limited amount of demand. At that price point most buyers would probably pass. If I were to order one, waiting an extra week or so wouldn't be a problem...vs. me receiving it to tear it down and send it to have said work done.

What does their multicam look like?
