The Simmons polish on my friend's gun looked appropriate for the gun, compared to another original M12 20ga that I own. I also have another that was reblued before I got it, and it does look pimpish. MGW offers a "factory correct" refinish for Superposeds, and I think they offer the same service for M12s (not absolutely sure, though). The biggest problem with the polishing seems to be keeping surfaces flat and edges crisp, and not getting carried away on the matting along the top of the frame.
