As not to hijack another info gathering thread...
Lots of people seem to feel as though gunmetal is a cheap plating.
I understand that what gunmetal actually is is a possibly imprecise thing.
But here's the question I have - do you have first hand experience of gunmetal components wearing out?
I once got a gunmetal kit with a plating issue from the factory but otherwise haven't had one problem after making many pens with it.
This is not to question the value of black ti by the way. - which I feel is a great option that I make just as many of.
So, first hand problems?
What I want to ascertain is whether this is an experiential concern or a hypothetical one.
