Looks like a lot of work, but not my cup of tea. Guess I'm too fussy, but I try keeping my guns looking like new. I have a 1972 Remington Nylon 66 that I bought new and it still looks that way. To each their own.......
Lots of work. Would drop $100-$150 off the price for me, at least . . .
(edit: Of course, like Grandma Muggins always said, there's a lid for every pot . . . )

Next time ship it to somebody "playing over in the Sandbox." After 6 months it'll probably look just like that. Joe

I dig the desert look, but I would do the whole gun like that. I've thought about doing one of my AR's in a desert camo, but I don't live near a desert.

Not bad. Got the rifle looking field worn just the way you want. Good job man.

Camo I get... especially when the upper matches the lower. But worn Krylon camo upper with drug behind the pickup lower? Sorry, not feeling it.
I wanted the lower to have the appearance of the paint wearing off the black. That was the reason behind it.

Forgive my humor for a sec...Picture Ricky walking in on Lucy saying "Lucy, what have you done" !!.. Now back to reality...I am hoping you are looking to remedy this paint job. In most cities you need to look for shops that soda blast. Yes, baking soda is blasted much like sand blasting but without the damaging effects.

I prefer to create that "used" look the old fashioned way - by actual use.
If I knew who Ricky and Lucy were it might be funny...... if you're not a fan that's cool. Really doesn't matter.

Oh.. I'm getting old if parents don't show their kids I Love Lucy anymore.
Not my personal style, but you did what you were trying to, perfectly! So. Awesome!!

Well, it definitely looks distressed. I suppose you'll be hammering a crack in the sight lens and smashing the light?
Whatever floats your boat.
I had a pristine 45-70 Springfield trapdoor rifle that I sold to my brother some 45+ years ago when I needed some money. For some reason, I'm reminded of the regret every time I see a "distressed" rifle.
