Forum:How to Spot a Modded Gun

So I've noticed that modded guns are becoming more and more of a popular area of discussion. So here's my question to add to the overall discussion: With the exception of obvious modded guns (Anarchy Bessies, Shredder Shredders, Twisted Hellfires and their ilk), what are the best ways to determine whether or not a gun has been modded? Several times now, I've come across guns that look as though they could be perfectly legit and then someone will tell me that it's a modded weapon. Are there any particulars that people like myself (who have a VERY limited knowledge of modded guns) should look for?

The reason I ask is because I personally don't like modded weapons. I have no problem with people who do like them, it's just a personal preference for me. I like knowing that the weapons in my arsenal are legitimate. In addition, when I trade with other players, I like being able to say with certainty that the weapons I have are all legitimate. I guess I don't like the idea of passing something off as a legit weapon only to find out later that it isn't.

That all being said, can anyone here impart their wisdom of the best ways to help determine whether or not a gun has been modded? Any constructive feedback would be appreciated. =)
