This is NOT a black paint M4 - Any fool can see that this is a BRASS M4 with a bit of black paint splashed on it. What ever happened to truth-in-advertising? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Patrick Jelliffe Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 12:05 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] FS: Beautiful M4 Black Paint I dunno, maybe some krocus(sp?) cloth taped to your fingers while shooting would give a more natural look? That battle-scarred M4 is probably worth more with most of its paint gone than if Shintaro did his magic. There was that now infamous black paint M4 on the auction site, with a tantalizing story in the description, that fetched 2,500 I think. So, either shrink wrapped in sealed boxes, or rubbed raw with use are the two extreme quintessential collectibles.
