Got my Beretta back from the cerakote guy

[WestKyHunt]

After a couple years of messing around with cheaper shotguns, I finally saved up all summer to give myself a large enough budget to buy whatever gun gave me the warm and fuzzies.

Long story short it came down to either the Benelli M2 or Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus.
Turns out everyone and their mother wanted an M2 as well, while the A400 was easy to order.

I knew that a standard camo pattern or black gun wasn't going to satisfy my wants, so I started searching for a company to cerakote my new shotgun.
Luckily enough there turned out to be a great guy only 20 minutes away that isn't afraid to try something new/creative.
I showed him a picture of FL new Spectre pattern and said "get close to this"
I think it turned out great while still being a unique to me firearm

Turned out really good! I have a Franchi Affinity 3 shotgun that I've been wanting to cerakote since the original black is pretty thin. Do you mind me asking where you had this done and rough estimate on cost?

Missed this somehow, looks real good.

If the good lord didn't want us to tinker with guns, he wouldn't have given us restless roscoe syndrome*.

I have a Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing that looks just like that one. If it flies, it dies!!!!

Just clarifying here.
If we want to use the phrase, we must suffer through a dude (or gal) coming to our house to annoy us? Or is it open to use as long as we cite our sources in posts? If it's citable work, I'll need to bookmark this thread to refer back to.

Yesish to perhaps.

Yesish to perhaps.

Glad that’s settled then
