I notice many of my precision rifles all look the same. They are black with a stainless barrel. Admittedly black and stainless go well together, but looking for something different.
I have a few tan/FDE rifles but do not like the look with a stainless barrel. Looking for a darker color or pattern.
I prefer not to paint the barrels as I go through them fairly quickly depending on the caliber and it does not make economic sense to cerakote them for such a short service life.
