ETA-I have the compact version.
Nice looking rifle!
I have been fighting barrel issues, as well. 2nd barrel is a little better than the stock barrel. I have the 12cc plenum to put on one I finish polishing parts and pieces.

I have very little experience applying vinyl, but I used to make it when I worked at 3M.
The hydro dipping that I have had (again, very little) wore off pretty easy.
