Anywhere it touches metal. I imagine when you bolt it on, the paint will compress a fraction. Will they mask it off first?

They will mask it. I'm trying to figure out where it needs to be masked so I will know if it is being properly done.

I am about to have a K80 stock hydrodipped. Other than the area where the stock makes contact with the rear of the receiver where do I need to check for proper fit/clearance?
How about the forend iron?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure the wood touches in the areas circled snug. The wood should barely touch everywhere else. The lug should take the brunt of the recoil

 

[leftex]

Thank you. That is exactly what I've been looking for.

Be sure to add some extra clearance where the sliding hood comes back over the stock. I did not and the latch scraped off the dip right off.

 

[badbaddog58]

have you had it done yet? if so please post some pictures so we can all see what you had done.

I'm supposed to pick it up Tuesday. Hopefully it will be worth posting some pictures.

Tuesday morning turned in to Thursday morning.

Got the wood back Thursday. Aside from some lack of detail in masking I think the actual dipping process went pretty well. There are areas where the film didn't get to the bottom of the checkering. For $125.00 I suppose I can't complain too much. Time to clean the gun and put it away.

I got lucky on the top latch. No clearance issue.
