I'm sorry but the forced aging looks fake and is not for me. I don't understand this current fad with beating your stuff up on purpose and is certainly not limited to guns. I try to take care of my stuff. Sure old guns have a lot of character but you earn that over time though honest wear and tear, not abuse.

I'm with you. It looks like one of those non-firing replica guns you see for sale, where the metal looks cheap. Now, I can understand wanting an old style gun to look old (but not like that) because it has character and whatnot. What I cannot understand is when people do that to modern handguns and rifles. It's not that they even beat them up. They are made to look like through the use of different cerakotes or blueing or whatever they use.
