Kevin was kind enough to include a heat gun, an exacto-knife, an edging tool, 29.5ml bottle of FrogLube cleaning solvent and an extra Gearskin and Rail Kit to wrap a second rifle with. The M4/AR15 Gunskin kit consists of 17 pre-cut, and individually labelled pieces, they also sent me a matching ‘Gearskin’ which consists of an 8” x 50” sheet. I contacted Kevin Lyon from Gun Skins about my interest in their products and about a week later a box arrived at my doorstep. The company also offers ‘Gearskins’ which can be used to wrap your optics, phone cases, and almost anything you can think of.

They make several pre-cut kits for several popular gun models and are made from 3M™ vinyl and includes pre-cut pieces which they claim will fit most rifles with barrels under 29″. I also considered having my rifle professionally Cerakoted in FDE by a friend who runs a shop that provides a variety after market gun finishing.
