Mine didn't get the field time as yours this year unfortunately but I have put several thousand rounds through it. Only sign of wear is around the ejection port with just a little bluing coming off. Last couple of years I have been wearing gloves all year for better grip and think that may have helped?
Like you said got it for field use and abuse so if it does wear not too worried about it. Heck as well as it shoots I don't really care what it looks like, LOL if we cared we wouldn't have the polychoke on it eh? The look has kind of grown on me though and seems pretty normal now, it isn't coming off now except for cleaning
That WeatherCoat finish held up against a pretty nasty scratch I tried to give it by accident a couple of months ago but wondered how well it will hold up against constant carry in the field.
