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)
 
Brand new from an AD. It's my tool now!!!

Dang.

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..
