Yes, a thought. IMHO, the tapered barrel [trumpet shape] is much 'prettier' than the hex barrel. From the gotavapen site it appears that the hex is the older/original style and the tapered/trumpet style is the newer/arsenal refurbished barrel. I would look for the newer style, particularly the arsenal refurbished Lahtis. The finish is quite well done, although it is [lightly] buffed.

I do like the front sight band on the hex barrels.

I don't like the square-ish thick trigger guards of the hex style Lahtis.

Boy, what a snob I am.
