I have decided to change the looks of my Rock River EOP Varmint black rifle. Hydro Customs in Catoosa, OK. Is Remington approved for their dipping process. They have many colors and patterns. So many that it is making it hard to decide. So I am hoping to get help here. My use is mostly varmint shooting, so I am looking more to the CAMO patterns.  http://hydrocustoms.com/ 
Currently my favorites are the following. 
C 563 A Tacs
C 384 All Terrian
C 443 Water Fowler
Being a Rock river The S 321 under Marble stone would be cool. I am afraid that this pattern could hurt the resaleability down the line. Let me know your favorites. Keep in mind that Oklahoma is flat, open and very dry most of the year.

Great find man, thanks for sharing, that is cool as hell. Thunbs Up

The thing about reselling something you've customized is it usually means you sell it to someone you'd get along with. That way you don't sell something you've put some heart into to some douche bag. Kinda filters them out.

I know the rifle will out live me so thats why I worry how hard it will be to get rid of down the road.
I finally made it to the office so here is what I am starting with. Its just so black.

Took the rifle in 5\2. It should be out in 4 weeks. Finaly settled on the A-Tacs Pattern. BD The Waterfowler was one of my favortes but Ronnie said it had to fine of a pattern to look good on an AR. Since he does the work I trust his judgment on that.

My Rock River got back today. A short lockup with the ATF delayed the process about 3 weeks. The finish looks a lot less menacing than the all black.
 
 
 
They had another one that was waiting pickup. The Skulls design had Rancid Coolaid written all over it.

Very nice.  Striking.

This shop moved into this building about 5 months ago. There is another class III FFL in the same strip center. After all this time someone at ATF decided that this could at some future time cause some confusion. ??? Anyway they came in and locked down both shops and impounded all the firearms for 3 weeks. Since  They could not show any scenario for confusion they released everything and said go on with your business. Just being a pain in the A. Shocked Sorry it took another day to post but after typing in the other night just as I was going to hit the post button--- big blue screen with a kernal overload error and crash.
