I don't know any specific ones, but if i find one i'll PM you, but i think i would try getting/making a "Metal Shader" of approximately the right colour and then play around with the specularity and other settings to try and make it look better.
I am not that sure what type of "gun metal" you are after, there are so many from dull black teflon type materials to silver and gold, but I suspect you will be after that "dull grey" colour?
If so, I will need a shader like that for a project soon, so will keep a look out for you/us.
Regards Scraggy

WTF!?doing specifec types of shaders in maya are hard to do...
If you want metal then get yourself a reflection map (anything old photo will do) then turn your diffuse down a bit, turn your eccentricity down to about 0.1, spec roll off to 0.9-1.0 and the spec colour to white. Then tweak your reflection param. Most of all just experiment, but what sells metal are the reflections and the spec hits.

Yes what 'Metal' are you after? Otherwise we may be on about 'Ceramic' Guns Lambert and SSsoon.
