I was noticing, while at RMAC 2021, that some of the well-known shooters (you know who they are) had this new Bling on their air rifles that set them apart from other participant’s, including anodizing, camo tapes, stickers, frames, cocking leavers and what not. All very cool too. What do you think? Form over function or legit?

I am on the side of liking it mainly because I got most of my guns from Ernests personal collection but for me it protects the bottle and gives it a nice grip when swapping bottles. I personally like the looks and its cheap but the bottles are a pain to do but possible the shrouds might help with vibrations but don't think enough to make a difference.

Way back in the days of Air rifle Headquarters and Beeman they sold that stuff to put on the barrels of our springers.

I put it on my !24 barrel and the underlever of my old HW77 … better grip, hid/prevented rust and bluing wear … Im ordering some tonite … hadn't seen it an awhile that could fit a 16mm barrel.
