What is the condition of this frame and what generation is it?
My take on a refinish: The XM XX frame is the easiest to find (so least valuable) If you are planning to refinish to a Cerakote black finish what is the point in saving the serial #? I think it makes the frame look cheaper having it there (who cares what the frame colorway use to be at this point). Anyone that knows X-Metals will know its not a fake. As far as value........gonna be about the same IMO (not like the first 5000 produced came with special lenses or different color rubber)
