How often do H&R receivers restock?

Anyone know how often they restock the stripped lowers? Im also curious to see if they will fix the color issue on the new batch. Keep hearing how H&R has been given a long leash and how they have their own quality control, but there was an obvious problem on the color of recent ones. Not even close to retro grey, almost like there was no dye added at all. Not talking about anodizing being slightly off, but rather looking completely wrong. Pic 2 is from this sub of a more recent one, and pic 3 is what they should look like. You can even see a stark difference in the review photos for the item on PSA’s site, the older reviews look amazing and the recent ones look very off. Thanks!

Anyone use this 15.1" BKF barrel?

Yo,

Having difficulty picking a barrel for a P&W build. trying to stay light weight (my only AR up until now has been a 20" A4 clone though so "light" is relative). Really want a 14.7 but I can't source a barrel that's not a pencil or government profile.

Stumbled across this 15.1 from BKF. I'd really prefer something chrome lined but this SPR profile is kind of intriguing. Anyone have any experience with this barrel? I'm also open to other barrel recommendations (13.9,14.5,14.7 etc). I've always gone CHF/CL up until now for fears of barrel life, I'm now more open to nitride after some research.
