I've been Cerakoting for seven or eight years now, and I'll be darned if I've never coated a surplus M16A1 stock, or any of the older A1 era furniture. I tend to err on the side of rejuvenating that stuff and conserving it, but I have one for a personal project that is pretty trashed, and historical value is already destroyed. It could look better once filled and coated.

My question is, has anyone ever used H-Series on an older A1 Type D stock?

I suspect the stock material can handle 170 degrees for a low temp cure, but my concern is the glues inside, and the rubber pad.

I've read you can remove the buttpad, but it's an absolute PITA without running the risk of damaging it. So I'm debating using H Series at low temps, or C Series. My problem with C Series is it tends to not be as durable; and this rifle will definitely be out and about in the field.

Thanks


Type D for reference: (Don't worry, I'm not coating a sweet heart like this one)
