    Gotta pic? Is it shiny from bluing or from paint? If it's paint, you can take some 1500grit sandpaper and take the shine off. Flat black coatings are easier than ever now.

    Duracoat is a 2 part finish system ( paint ) for firearms. Easy to apply and extremely durable. Ceracote is another option but requires baking at a specific temperature and is a PITA to get right for the DIY user. You can get a Duracoat kit for around 40$. If you need help with it shoot me a pm.

    You order it online from Midway USA or Brownell's.
