Looks fine except for the Black Hole BBL. I had one and it wouldn't shoot any better than 2" at 100yds. I sent it back and now its lost in a black hole and every time I call them they tell me I should have it by the end of the week. Its been two months of "the end of the week"

i have a black hole barrel 18" and honestly it doesn't shot any better then my YHM chrome lined barrel... plus it took FOREVER! to get... so i think you made a wise choice switching it up.

Get one of the rainier 16" match barrels that are 225$ if they still have them.
