 Need Some Pics to Help w/My Build

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

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..
