I forgot to get bead blasting on the new 32" SS barrel for my custom build, that basically ended up being what amounts to an F-gun. Although I was unwilling to consider any sort of coating such as paint, I wanted to see what it would look like with a simple camo wrap covering. As far as pure function goes (from a sniper's standpoint), it really is ideal. But for "show" purposes, it's not even close to having the look that you would want such a piece of hardware to have. That's why I'm heasitating on whether or not I should even post a pic of it. It isn't the same scenario as a camoed shotgun barrel. Basically, the look that you want a rifle to have is CLEAN & MEAN. To covey that to lookers, you DON'T want to hide the steely look of the barrel, which is the essence of the rifle itself. So before I show it, I want lookers to understand that I know that it doesn't look right, for a rifle that you would hope to impress anybody with, anyways. It almost looks as if the barrel is nothing more than a carboard tube, or perhaps the straight section of a camo-covered walking cane. But at this point I'm only looking at it as temporary.
With that being said, should I post the pic?
