Anyone getting a STG-44 (22 LR) carbine?

I saw a 1911 that had been sprayed with something like that at a gun show, and it was a dead ringer for Parkerizing. It had the right texture and sheen and it was very thin with no signs of the build-up you see with other spray coatings, so it would have fooled me if the seller hadn't told me. He said it was Duracoat, but that name is used rather loosely so it could just as well be Brownell's own brand.
