Les Baer Les Baer TRS make over

[Bender]

So some time ago I picked up a TRS, at a good price, but it had been Cerakoted with a distressed finish. Decided I couldn’t deal with it, I sent it out to me murdered out in graphite black. Here is the before.....

Look forward to the after pics. Distressed isn’t my thing either good choice.. You having Lou cerokote it?

 

[Sneaky One]

I don't like the distressed look personally either. But the TRS is a beautiful gun. Look forward to seeing it's new look.

 

[Bender]

Yes Lou is going to pull some over time between builds, gotta love the Guy.

I had thought that I could live with the finish, turns out I couldn’t. So now I’ll have a used TRS, with CeraKote and a BEC rear sight for about what I could have bought a new one for. It’s still rather tight coming out of battery so I don’t think it’s been shot a lot. Will make for a great workhorse.

Any word from Lou on a time line for this one?

Patience is a virtue........I didn’t ask.

Lou hit that one outta the park for you. Congrats!
You can get somewhat of an idea of how much use a LB has had by how much wear is showing on the barrel where the tight bushing sits on it. Sort of a smiley facy top and bottom.

Nice job!

 

[Buckhorn]

That looks really nice!

 

[Raylan Givens]

Looks very nice.

That is sweet! Way to bring it back. The distressed look only works for me when its honest wear on bluing. Quick turn around from Lou as well.

Very true. Ive owned a few Baers over the years, there is very little wear present on this one. It had a bit of a pop coming out of battery before. It locks up like a bank vault again now. Not much work done to it, just a BEC rear sight and a coat of graphite black.

Looks great, huuuuge improvement over the "distressed" finish. Now you can take it out and distress it properly.

 

[Bender]

Very true Sir

This one will be a work horse for sure.

 

[Dimedog]

Beautiful. Love me some Baers

 

[azpoolguy]

That looks great G.

 

[Bender]

Thanks....... just a good, solid work horse. I’m no longer embarrassed to take it out.

Very nice job on that gun! Not a fan of the 'distressed' finish myself. I like to work on my gun's finish by using them! Eventually they get the nice "well used" patina.
