Good thing I asked! Wife wanted her barrel to be black. - Two Tone - 05-31-2022
Ordered that gorgeous and well-rated Wilson Combat "Recon" barrel for my wife's AR build. I thought stainless steel was a good look but nope! Wife wanted it to "match the rest of the gun."
Called Wilson and was able to get it coated in black before it ships. Another $40.00 but it is a custom rifle.

Lucky you, otherwise you'd be doing your own laundry for a month.

Actually I do all the laundry anyway but I get the idea!

$40 is a small price to keep her happy. She's a lucky one!
My wife wanted hers to be black & pink, so I picked up a LaRue furniture kit and rattle-canned some accessories. She loves it, and wears the hat all the time!

Picked up my 6.5 WC from my FFL today.
Also running the barrel in sexy black. Forgive my poorly taken pics.

What's with the two button head cap screws on the handguard? They kinda detract from the aesthetics of the rifle to me...I would be chucking that guard up in the Bridgeport and champhering those holes and go to flat head cap screws. Wilson does make great stuff though good quality.

Who is the maker of the handguard?
I'll need a set of these at some point, M-Lok is what I want.

If the "coating" is maloniting, that was a good investment regardless.

How do you like the Super Sniper barrel profile? Is it light enough to use as a hunting rifle where it will be carried around?
Asking because Im interested in one.
