The veil models are cool but they add a decent amount of weight with the heavier barrel contour, then charge you full price for the cerakote and threading that a gunsmith would.
The veil models are cool AF. I love the bronzed barrel.
I know it would vary widely, but how much would you assume it would cost to cerakote and thread the stainless barrel and flute the bolt?? (I’ll admit I simply like the look of the fluted barrel but it does at least add SOME functionality, however small).
It seems to me it would probably cost the same to have these upgrades done at a gunsmith, so why not just pay that up front

To get the barrel threaded correctly, prob $100-150. $200-250 for a good cerakote job. Bolt fluting is all over the place, but I’ve seen it offered as cheap as $50. So all in about $400-500. You’d be under that doing it all with LRI but could shop around for any or all of it and come in cheaper.
For me, it’s about getting the thinner barrel profile of the superlite, which is going to save almost a pound over the veil/D-18/roughtech, and you’d get to pick the cerakote color, bolt fluting pattern, etc.

What functionality of a fluted barrel are you referencing?
