I can only assume this is intended as a home brassing kit, for those who want to look like they shoot with their expensive gear without the bother of actually doing so. Sounds like a perfect plan....  ::)

With the M6 do you still get that look of brassing finish, like on the MP?  Mine has some normal wear on the top plate but it's more like silver finish, not that lovely brassing look like  on the MP.

There are some black paint M6's but they are $$$. I thought they were some millenium edition or something. But most of them are black chrome which don't brass, they "zinc"

Looks like you all saw the joke. And the double irony in the non-brass m6.
