I like your idea. It's your gun, fix it up however you like.
Lots of guys age reproduction muzzleloaders, why not a CZ858?

yeah thats what im saying

Giving your rifle a weathered look is no different that people putting on hundreds of dollars of plastic to make it look "tacti-cool" so I have no idea why everyone is giving you such a hard time. If it's done right, it might look nice .. but a half-assed job and it'll prob look like crap and unlike adding some black plastic furniture, you can't just take it off again.

Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions to make it look weathered other than using it "a lot" lol.

yeah it can look real pretty if done right
but to each his own

Is this much "weathering" pimp enough for u?

yeah thats a little more weathered than i had in mind but i do think that looks nice

When I buy a new truck, I like to take a sledge hammer to it and throw buckets of mud on it. It looks like I actually use it off road so my friends won't laugh at me.

Now you see how stupid it sounds.

i dont know if you are mildly retarded or something so i will say it again
I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS

Davecasey:

Style without substance is meaningless. You really want to be "cool"? Best way is to take that 858 to some hard ass training. Shoot it, drop it, kick sand on it - then shoot it some more. Try different mounts on it, take them off, put them on, drop it in the mud, throw it on concrete, put a bullet hole in one of the mags. Cut the old beaverbarf stock off, put on a folder, put skate tape on it.

The reason all those "worn" rifles are cool, is because they have a story to them.

Rifles and other firearms are meant to be used - period. Those that are "keep on the rack" worthy are the ones to keep in pristine condition. All others are used.

i really don't know how to make it plainer than that.

Shoot it, use it, abuse it, find out what the limit of that platform is. Then you will have a "used" rifle, with a lot of stories to tell, and alot of real experience.

im not going to drop it
kick it
fill it with sand
shoot the mag
im at the range tomorrow and ima shoot it
and ima weather it
cause i want to
