A painted forend cap? A first for me...  
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Believe it or not I've seen this on factory rifles. In the late 50's and 60's Savage did so on some of their 22's. My first rifle was a single shot Savage 22 (Model No. 15 if I recall correctly) and had a painted fore-end tip. I think Marlin also did this as well.

Mostly on Stevens and Savage entry-level guns--.22s like Eddie's Steven Model 15 and bolt action shotguns. I had a Stevens Model 59 .410 bolt action with this elegant touch!

Not just confined to older guns. A buddy bought a new RIA 22 TCM rifle that has a painted on forend tip and grip cap.

One of my uncles had a Stevens/Savage .410 bolt action with a painted on black forend tip. I remember him killing a few pheasants & numerous rabbits with that gun back in the 50's. He shot a .410 because of a repair for a detached retina which required him to avoid heavy recoil (he would never spend the $$ to own a Winchester 42).
Much more classy than a black plastic forend tip with the obligatory white line spacer & more easily removed when you got tired of it.

Easy to correct, I would think. It looks like a good job of sporterizing a Springfield "C" stock.
