Do any of you have a distressed AR? Intentionally or Thru Time

[JERRYS.]

ive plenty of guns with honest wear, including my ARs. the one that looks the "worst" is my AK. finish wear doesn't bother me too much especially once that first few scrapes are done I stop worrying about it. dry dirt/gravel like grit puts wear on them quick.

I traded found mid 70s AR parts kit and combined it with a beat to crap A1 upper receiver that I saw on GB.
The gunsmith who put it all together for me mentioned that back in the 90s, after relations were restored, the gov't of Vietnam sold a crap load of "once fired, once dropped" AR parts to the US for cheap and that mine looked like one of those.

Here's a shot.

Yeah, I tell myself that it's just oxydation.
