TWR, I just examined a new LaRue stealth upper, a guy was selling it here near Atlanta, it was 6 plus pounds and $1050 USA dollars. I could not see much of the barrel under the 13 inch quad rail however it is my impression that the finish both inside and out is melonite. I base this on the inside of the barrel being as black as the outside of the barrel. I did not take it because of the weight.
I don't mind giving LaRue money and I will be giving him more when I get this 6.8 built for another LT-104. He makes a quality product, and as far as I can see they have gone the way of AAC, AR precision with the melonite. Which is a good thing in my book.
That they are stupidly secretive is a mark against them in many a book including mine. However if I had caught the sale for $199 I would not be as upset that he is a secretive nut case....them grapes is sour anyway....
