New Lone Wolf "Alpha Wolf" Barrels - Any Thoughts?

etrain16 · Dec 11, 2015

Looks like Lone Wolf has come up with a new line of replacement and conversion barrels for Glocks. Strange, but their website doesn't really say anything about them. Differences I can see are what may be a black melonite coating, fluted barrel and the replacement of that awful Lone Wolf logo. But other than that, I don't see anything that stands out. Prices seem to be about the same.

Anyone heard anything more on these barrels?

I've used their, I guess "gen 1" conversion barrels in several guns for caliber conversions - other than their ugly logo being burned in to the thing, I've got no complaints. They've fit well and functioned 100%.

I'm not sure of the purpose of the fluting in the barrels. Weight? Looks? Tacticool? I guess if they don't cost any more, I'd probably be inclined to go this route.

I'm going to get a threaded barrel for my 17. They are they same price as the older version and they worked great ,so why not give it a try?
Their logo was bad a$$,what are you talking about?

I love their barrels and definitely plan on getting one or two of these.

Looks like the Lone wolfs are being made by Dasan Machineries Co. LTD of South Korea.
I always thought they were made here but it might have changed recently as I have not
looked into getting one again for years. I really like the one I have for my 21.
The alpha's seem to made here in the US.

Nice. Using a Idaho address and buying crap from over seas.
I haven't bought the barrel yet but will look into where they are made and where the other brands are made
