Customising

This might be a bit taboo but is there apart from chokes! Any sort of customising over under shotguns. I would like to change my stocks from brown wood to black but can't find anything. Also things like the white sight changing to a colour. I know people like the traditional look of engraving etc but I like the sleek look which is why I went with the 525s with no engraving.

Beretta did one some time ago but don’t think there was much demand for it.

That's cool looking

Look at Amber Hill’s gun. It doesn’t happen much, but it is done some times. Nowadays laminated stocks are also available.

I quite like the look of the laminated stock but can't seem to find one for sale even on brownings website

Recently bought this for my Grandson's 21st birthday.

It IS a 525 ! Just woodwork to attract a 21 year old !
Oh, AND everything is 'steel proof' which, I think, includes the case ot came in !

Maybe look at some of the airgun stockers, they favour the 'laminate' approach ?

You can get parts hydro dipped or sprayed. Went a bit mad a few years ago and created this.

Make your own

Don't want to buy another gun just the stock and forend

I wondered whether it was possible to 'wrap' the woodwork like they do with cars. From Google it appears there are some products out there mainly in the USA and usually camo finish. Also hydro dipping is mentioned, such as this firm

I would be very interested to see if that composite stock outlasts the wonder that is wood - bit like fitting PVCu windows every thirty years due to degradation as opposed to looking after some decent wooden ones.

Easier to trade. Looks like you bought the wrong gun.
