Here's my dilemma.  I currently have an Oly Arms .243 WSSM SUM with a 1:8 twist, 20" barrel.  I will be sending the barrel off to ADCO to have it re-profiled and threaded.  I can't decide if I should get it fluted or not.  I'm also not sure if I should have the barrel bead blasted afterwards to have a dull gray finish or have it refinished in black.

The other problem I'm having is deciding on which handguard to go with.  I want the "modular" style (free float without rails, but with the option to add rails as necessary).  Some that I've looked at are the Troy Alpha (13", 15"), Troy/VTAC (13", 15"), and the Samson Evolution (12.37", 15").  I think I'm leaning towards the 15", but need pics to get a better idea.

I'm very indecisive, hence the requests.  Plus, I want to see all of my options so that I am 100% happy with the $$$ I spend.

So here's my pic requests:

-20" barrels with & without fluting
-said barrels finished black or gray
-13" & 15" "modular" handguards

Quoted:
-20" barrels with & without fluting

You can get this from the barrel maker's sites...try Black Hole Weaponry

-said barrels finished black or gray

See above...or Bison Armory

-13" & 15" "modular" handguards

Check mfr's sites for examples

Here are a few pics of my 20" with a 15" Samson evolution.

I would consider a Troy TRX which is what I want.  Want to but my Samson???

The pics...  Looks better with the scope.  And no shit about the rear mbus on backwards..
