Interesting. I posted this topic to see what the prevailing opinion is on upgrading field grade guns, and I'm somewhat surprised to find there isn't one. It seems to be a roughly 50/50 split for/against.

I can see validity in the arguments on both sides. Putting "1200 dollars into a 1000 dollar gun" probably isn't the best thing to do with our $, but almost all of us use our guns, and almost no one finds enjoyment in using an ugly gun. We all appreciate fine things, or we wouldn't be here on this site. And, since field grade guns are within the reach of most of us, it's only natural to want to spruce them up, either through upgrades or refinishing. I fail to see the harm in that.

More power to us I say.
