Carrying my new XM today and thought I'd share some pics with the community. Enjoy!

I betcha I know where that came from.... Nice looking XM.

Hey! That's my Armorers Tool!
 
I was a bit skeptical of the SB finish at first, but in person it looks great. I think I may like it better then SW. (I probably won't be saying that in a month when it gets some good use and scratches all over it, lol)

The SB ages well "patinas" the SW is "pre-scratched" to alleviate stress. It's all good.
 
Congrats! I have a SB/stonewashed XM as well. It definitely shows scratches but I have been able to get some of the very light surface marks off with a mr.clean magic eraser. Plus, once Rick starts doing refurbs again, you can have it looking brand new again. I'm using/carrying the hell out of mine until that time comes.
 
Congrats man nice score! I'm a fan of the translucent green myself...and orange too so I don't get shot by hunters when using my knife. lol
 
I received the same one as yours yesterday! Yep, a blue G-10 Gen4 3.5" Duratech 20CV spanto grind. Had to ditch my 0560..
