Brand New Apollo V3 DLC barrel coating worn?
**UPDATE EDIT** Atlas service responded to my inquiry stating they haven't had or seen a bad batch with DLC coating issues in the V3s (which seems unlikely based on other customer posts besides my own). I did ask about the non ported barrel fitting service at the same time and they offered to look at the current barrel if I choose to send it in for fitting, which is probably what I'll end up doing. Hopefully, it's not waved off as normal though, judging from the inputs on this thread. Thanks everybody who replied, it was really helpful to get that feedback!
Just bought the Apollo V3 and noticed these wear marks on the barrel. It’s brand new and zero rounds through so wanted to check and see if this is normal in y’all’s opinion? I also compared to a new Athena V3 which didn’t have these wear spots. I did reach out to Atlas and am waiting for their reply but figured I’d get some insights asking here in the community as well 🙏
