Title: Before and After
Post by: hunter22 on November 15, 2012, 03:27:48 PM

Some of you remember I started a project several months ago to convert and older Browning BPS 12 gauge into a turkey gun. I had bought this gun back in the early 1980s. The gun had a 30 inch full choked barrel which I replaced with a 22-inch barrel threaded for an Invector choke system. I fitted the gun with a KICK EEZ recoil pad and added an Indian Creek .660 choke with Williams slugger Fire Sights. I took it to Don Mullis at Camo Solutions up in Evening Shade, Arkansas and asked Don to dip it in Mossy Oak Bottomland. Well, I got it back today. It is gorgeous. Don did a simply outstanding job on it. I could not be more pleased. If you are looking to make an old gun look new with a great camo pattern give Don a call. Good guy to do business with and shoot the breeze.
