[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3044040, member: 423"] So after some thought - and reading TRs post - I'm going to back track a bit. I've long held the position for old guns and milsurps that if you want it to look shiny and new, to refinish it. It's your gun, who cares what the collectors say. So, saying that the distressed finish is "poser" or whatever is the same thing in the reverse direction. I realized my F-i-L did the same basic thing, but to an old Winchester 94. He couldn't afford an actual old one, and he did the living history stuff, so he bought a cheap one, and took some steel wool or something to it to make it look worn. I thought it was cool. I like the the look of the distressed, and after some thought, I'll never be the person to actually wear an AR-15 to look like that. So if I like the look, I can pay for it, or hit it with a grinder wheel. [/QUOTE]
