I don't see the point of getting a beater then having it cerakoted?
It's complicated. A new gun is $550 and it looks like every other gun. My 85 was $390 plus the cost of Cerakote. It doesn't look or shoot like a new gun now.

Oh I get that part. You bought that with intentions of making it beautiful, I seriously doubt you are considering that one a beater. What I meant was, I don't understand the point of buying a beater, with intentions of keeping it a beater, and having it cerakoted.It's complicated.

I too am in the camp of buying one of those surplus guns is better than buyin new.
Not me. Nope. Never. I am normal.Well, people change their minds. You and I both do it all the time.

It could be yours for the low low price of tree fiddy.Wow, man, you going to try to sell that here?
Well said. Where's the slow clap emoji?When I buy a surplus gun I am sacrificing the finish for the trigger. The trigger and the thousands of rounds down the barrel have a value to me. Once upgraded these are the smoothest triggers you will find. It would take you years to get a new gun to that same place.

I am still looking to replace the Champion. I have built and been talked out of 4 of them.
If I do manage to find another one and tune it I am never showing it to anyone............
Man, it sure is getting deep in here this morning.

The cerakote idea was a just "what if". I agree with the patina, it adds character, and the weld repair would emphasize the nickname "Scarface". The trigger is what really sold me on the surplus idea in the first place. I shot the one that Rusty has and was just flat out impressed.
Well........I have the best of intentions.
This has serious appeal:
