I'd rather spend my time shooting a gun, than rubbing it with newsprint or dousing it with chemicals to fake age. An honest gun deserves honest use. Trying to make something look older than it really is - is simply fraudulent. Sample my new book at *http://www.theweemadroad.com*

That new tail light stands out like a sore thumb and makes everything around it look bad. I'm sure Battles facing the same issue with his shotgun.
