Les Baer
Has anyone on here ever heard about or seen a brand new LES BAER pistol that had very poor blueing on the gun ? I just got a NIB PREMIER 2 from gun broker and when I inspected the gun, the blueing has what looks like wear marks on one side of the slide. Not really wear marks, but looks like the blueing didnt take in 3 or 4 small areas. Anyone hear of LES BAER pistols not being up to par with the blue finish?...

Re: Les Baer
Sounds like it might be holster wear marks. Are you SURE someone didn't "try it on for size" first?
Any way to post some photos - that might give MORE of a clue as well.

Re: Les Baer
I understand that they ship their guns in a plain cardboard box , no foam lining or styrofoam inserts etc. so it could have happened in transit to the original owner or gunshop.

Re: Les Baer
A number of Les Baer buyers have the same issue. If you purchased it brand new, they will reblue it for you. For the money of this beast, I want it to look new if I bought it new. If it is going to get wear marks on it, damn it, I want to be the one who puts them there. JMTC. BTW, don't settle for a parkerized finish or a duracoat type finish, especially if this will not be a holster carry gun. Some people say a gun is for shooting and I don't disagree, but who wants to drive a supercharged Corvette that has faded paint up and down the boulevard, especially if you bought it brand new?

BCM and Glock...for a bigger pile of 'cold dead hands' brass.
