Camouflage Tape on Mod

[f17ant]

Hi everyone

I went out with my buddy shooting with his hush power .410 shotgun, had a lot of fun. Anyways his moderator is covered in camouflage tape made me want to wrap the mod on my .243 however I also think what if the mod gets wet might be difficult to dry and lead to rust… or if it was to get wet and I left the mod over a radiator for a couple of hours, would this be ok? Or just avoid lol

I like looking after my tools I’m not scared of getting scratches or dings as these are tools at the end of the day. I just don’t like causing a issue that wasn’t there

Don't bother. You're deerstalking so if the critter can see, and note, your moderator it's game over.

It's also a PITA to remove tape glue and the attendant cloth particles that will adhere like to a blanket when you realise the error of your ways!

Use camo or green vet wrap. Stops you marking the mod on any high seats and reduces the noise of the clanging.

Camo tape is a disaster as is shrink tubing, kills the likes of T8 mods due to rust

Had cloth camo tape, equivalent of sniper tape, on a PES stainless for as long as I’ve owned it, never had any issues with corrosion, I just leave it on a radiator stood upon its end to dry off. As K says though, I’d hate to try & remove it as the glue has stuck to it exactly as he says

I've also found the stuff that makes elastin-like horse leg bandages 'grip' breaks down after a period of time and can be a similar pain in the high seat to remove.

Never really had a problem with it sticking- can remove from mod and dry and stick back on quite a few times before it looses it self adhesive . Then just put a single new wrap around where old wrap stops to save how much you use.

Big electrical heat shrink. Clean the can first then a wipe with oil before putting it on though

Buy a camo mod cover ?

I use a neoprene cover. I spray the T8 with a light covering of gun oil then put the cover on. Never had a issue with rust and I’m out in all weathers

I had a neoprene mod cover on my .243
I snagged it on a twig when climbing into a highseat in the dark one morning.
I didn't think to check whether it had been dislodged at all.
First shot sounded a bit off, and about 20 yards in front of my seat I found the smouldering remnants of my mod cover.
Not used one since.

Mine can’t come off.

Mine can’t come off.

Mine just wrapped around and joined back on itself with velcro. Could be slipped off the end of the mod like a tube.

Mine has to be put on the mod before you put the mod on the rifle.

Elasticated camo tape is ok for occasional shots but do not use it on a range day - it melts then sets and is a bugger to remove.
Ask me how I know….
