Technically it’s Camo Form® Self -Cling Camouflage, but most everyone just refers to it as Camo Form Tape. Whatever you call it, it works. As you can see in the depiction below, the Camo Form® is very effective at visually camouflaging your equipment. What you can’t show in a picture is that it also improves noise discipline by cushioning equipment. It also protects the finish and function of gear.
One roll will take care of most of an individual’s requirements (2″ wide x 144″ (4 yds) long). Camo Form is self-clinging and not affected by moisture. What’s more, it gives smooth items a little grip so that they don’t slide.
McNett Camo Form®

All ten styles are available from
Desert Deuce Surplus. The going rate seems to be $13-14 for a roll of 2" wide X 144" (4 yds) long.
Walmart has some for a bit cheaper if you want to go that route.
Botach tactical has quantity discounts and also has plain black tape.
It seems to be a bit like gauze but sticker and is marketed as sticking to itself and not the rifle; so you would need to wrap it tightly in a way that overlaps itself so it is the stretch tension that really keeps it in place on the rifle. That is what I gather from the marketing anyway - I've never tried it and may be wrong on that one.
I'm kind of surprised they don't make any Multicam or ABU patterns (or comblock camo for the airsoft crowd) :shrug:
And if you want a handy it- install from the rear of the rifle and move foward ~ this way the edges are exposed to the rear and will be less likely to come up.
