Not even close to the torch topic. The concern there is not knowing what has happened to the receiver or internal parts (did they even disassemble before torching.)
I would put this in the category as having the barrels redone. Purely cosmetic and often times makes the owner proud. The difference being that in many case functionality is improved.
