Also, I'd say on the half tube things on the side to ease up on the dodge tool, they look just a bit out of place being that shiny. If that part is supposed to be the most worn away then make the scratches a darker grey instead of just white. Course it could just be the render that makes it look like that...
i thought the silencer was the best as well. as for the half-tube things, in my reference it was very worn, those being worn out the most. i would have to say that they're done correctly as it's not total highlight you see there, but the metal under the protective coating which was worn away.

i'll see what i can do about that without making it too bright.
for now, here's a couple of more renders (check first post). next to be added is screws and finishing the ejection port skin.
