Denim works well for giving a new receiver a worn look to match a used parts kit on AK builds,I suspect denim would also work well on an AR but its not my thing..
I just had a really beat kit and I wanted to keep the look after rebuilding. |

OK, so I think I will just leave one of them new in the box, and one I will shoot and abuse the hell out of. Throw in back of truck, never see a gun case, drag through the woods etc... I may even do an ongoing thread on the abuse.

The finish is only half of the battle. It has to feel battle-worn too.
And the only way you get that is by shooting the absolute shit out of it. The smoothest actions in the world when you pull the charging handle aren't produced by lubing them up, cleaning them all the time, throwing them in the back of the truck or down a driveway. People can tell. Well-used guns with authentic finishes have a different feel to them. When you throw alot of rounds down range with them, the actions become buttery smooth. That's part of the experience as well. People nailed it earlier. If you want the authentic battle-worn look and feel on one of them, use the heck out of it. Get 10k rounds of cheap blasting ammo and shoot it over the course of a month. Never put the rifle in the case. Throw it down in the mud, or in the back of a truck, or a trunk...get it dirty. Use a dirty rag to wipe it off...use the dirt as some grit. Shoot it up against trees, fences, and other barricades. Carry it slung around the range, your house, etc. All that stuff will start to really develop some natural wear and character. Throwing it down the driveway is ridiculous. It's one thing to scratch the anodizing up a bit; it's another thing entirely to gouge the absolute shit out of the aluminum, which concrete will absolutely do. |

I have worked on several long guns that had the beginnings of rust. I used a Scotchbrite pad soaked in Breakfree CLPon the rusted area. It quickly removed the rust and smoothed the metal. I've often thought it would be a good method to create a worn look to the finish of an AR. So far I haven't been brave enough to try it on one of my rifles. I think it goes back to growing up with little and always working to keep things in like new condition so I wouldn't need to replace it, since it was likely I wouldn't be able to replace it.
I did get brave enough to do a rattle can paint job a 300 Blackout rifle I put together about 5 years ago. It turned out nice, but I haven't painted another one. edited for typos |

I built an AR specifically to throw around...so I wouldnt feel weird babying the others. I painted it a nice tan and FDE scheme. There is a nice wornish look to it. That said, I did take a piece of 100 grit sandpaper to the edges of the rails and other places.

I painted my bushmaster with a krylon camo scheme. I don't baby it and it has a really nice worn look where the paint has been removed through wear.

a fews years ago, this was popular, folks were doing all kinds of things to make them appear "worn" They were paying dumb money in some cases. Without stretching anything, I actually had a carbine that I tied 550 cord aroundd the front sight base and drug around the range a few times and at home across the river rock. Dude bought it and paid.
