What warranty comes with the Apache?

Will my finish look exactly like the photos?
Due to the nature of PVD, DLC, and anodized coating processes, slight variations in color and finish are normal and expected. Factors such as the base material, minor differences in the coating process itself, and the presence of oils or other lubricants on the firearm can all affect final appearance. Additionally, because computer, phone, and TV screens render color differently, the color you see online may not exactly match the color of the item in person. These variations are considered normal characteristics of the finish and are not defects.
