rubber coating?

[Coyote Jones]

I'm new to the .450 and am actually still waiting on my upper to arrive. I was curious to see if anybody has ever tried to use something to coat the free float tube with rubber? Pretty much make it like the Hogue that is rubberized. I know they make tool handle coating in a can for tool handles, but am not sure if there is anything else on the market I can use. I'm building my lower and would also like to know if anyone has used a Stag with their builds. So far I have a Stripped Stag lower, Timney skeleton trigger with a Phase 5 Tactical winter triggerguard to give me some glove room. I'm thinking of going with a Magpul ACS or their rifle stock that is coming out this spring. Any ideas or recommendations This is going to be my new deer rifle.

I have two Stag Arms Lowers one on my Thumper and the other on my Grendel. They are good to go.

I cut a section of motorcycle inner tube and slid it on.

I used a Mako GL stock on my recent lower build. There is information here http://www.450bushmaster.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=223&p=27415&hilit=mako+gl+lower#p27415 and here http://www.450bushmaster.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=47&p=27133&hilit=mako+gl+lower#p27133.

if you do go with an acs stock i have one for sale along with the moe + grip in od green.

Some pretty good ideas, here. Saving a nickle when 6 cents for the Hogue is a consideration. But, I have used "Trunk Paint" found at any auto store, comes in many multicolor schemes and has rubber globules in the paint that grab your hand wonderfully well..

Thanks for all the input guys. I like the inner tube idea.

[BillytheKid]

I wonder if Tommy Tape would work?

Yep, I use Trunk Paint to camo all my elephants...

Thanks for all the input guys. I like the inner tube idea.

Folks also report good results using a stretchy, neoprene water bottle cover.
