Flat Dark Earth AR builds?

in the process of adding FDE furniture, rail covers and p mags (pics coming soon).....anyone else making the conversion? I just got tired of plain all black

You can detail strip the lower receiver and upper receiver and have them Cerakoted.

That's what I have been doing. No mags yet. But just added the Magpul MOE Grip and CRT Stock. With Troy rail covers.

Whoops that's a pic of before the grip.

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees

Hard to make the conversion when I started with FDE!

I saw this being done over at (Deleted link to other Forum- phil ) from a guy in Florida, and I was really impressed with the result. Eventually I'm going to just build my next gun to spec starting with the lower......

Very nice rifles guys.....very well done!!!

Shoot when I get mine I'm tossed up between od green or fde. It's killing me. Parents and I filed at the same time and they got their return back....

Ok here is an updated picture with MOE grip.

Is that vertical the Mission First react? I ordered it along with their full furniture kit in scorched dark earth which is basically their version of the magpul FDE.

Yes Mission First. Not sure if it is the react but it is the one that folds

Also has a storage compartment.

Alright Gunny, we are getting awful close lol...

I notice you have your forward sling mount in the forward slot vs the rear-most slot which seems to be all the rage now. Any reason for going all they way forward? I tried it there but it seemed to get in the way of my grip...

sull625 · Mar 14, 2014

Mine so far

78Staff · Mar 14, 2014

Been posting it in the pics thread, but here is my FDE revision of the M&P 15 OR...getting close to complete. Looks kinda like Gunny's...I guess Navy and Army can get along

.

The black MOE Vert Grip - not sure if I like a vert grip enough to pay for another one in FDE, so I just left it black for now. Added the STR, Vickers sling and IO/Tango Down Micro cover today. Not to mention my one and only FDE Mag lol. "For Photo Use Only

"

Full Parts List...
Magpul Pro BUIS
Aimpoint Micro T-1 / LRP mount.
Magpul STR Buttstock
Magpul MOE Handguard, Vert. Grip, MOE+ Grip
Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard, BAD Lever
Rainier Arms Charging Handle
Norgon Ambi Mag Release
Battle Arms Dev Ambi Safety

And I don't know why my safety crosspin is so oily, I think I've wiped that sucker down about 5 times already

Blugrass if you ever take the TROY panels off for cleaning or whatever, if you think about it could you take a few pics of the ext handguard... no one around here carries it and I can't find to many pics of it installed online...

thanks
