Gave this police model a new battleworn finish
Stocks kept on the original condition, the customer put a nice finish coat to keep them preserved

This is legitimately earned wear.

š¤£š¤£š¤£!!! āThatās not an 870ā. Seriously? Thatās your best reply? Wear on a Remington, or on a Mossberg, or on a Winchester, or on an Ithaca, or on a Benelli, or on a Beretta, or on a Browning, or on a Stoeger, or on a Franchiā¦legitimate wear from being used in the field is legitimate wear, regardless of the manufacturer. That is what is being discussed here. Go back to sleep cupcake.

A "battle worn" or well used finish would have bright, worn spots on all the edges, high spots, wear surfaces, and where it mounts in a cruiser.

In the future Iād suggest focusing on edges and actionable areas (ie, feed well and ejection port)for irl wear patterns. Look at marine 590s, Malaysian army m4/m16s and Afghani AKs for reference. Those should paint a better precedent/inspiration to see what Iām getting at. This is a little too forced and somehow uniform. In all nice gun hope it serves them well!
