It was a toss up for me between the all black, and black/O.D. I voted the black/od, but honestly they all look pretty sweet to me.
The again, you can never go wrong with an all black gun. :bravo:

I prefer the all black look, but the FDE project I'm working on is starting to grow on me a little.

I have an all black one that I like. On my current build I am going with full FDE. I wanted to try something different. The next one will probably be different again :D

This is the current form. I have a new hand guard and am getting the upper and lower color matched.

Love them with green.
My theory on retail AR rifles is that all black need to be available but are a dime a dozen (relatively speaking since we are once again in a high demand cycle) but the rifles with the contrasting colors are more likely to trigger a purchasing decision.

Once you go black, you never go back. That being said.......if it was an A1 with the triangle hand guards, I would love the OD green from Nam era

I think FDE looks great, but my Viet conditioning won't allow me to give away my position with the bright contrast. It makes sense that the desert wars make it popular, but not many sand dunes in MN.

I do like the greens - have one each in Olive and Foliage. But black is still king - four monocolor and one w/satin stainless barrel. And another dark side to arrive soon.

FDE blends well in wooded Northern MN. Even my khaki painted rifle does a good job of vanishing.

I did my AR15 in all black, the LR-308 I am currently assembling parts for is getting all OD furniture. Upper and lower will stay black. Stainless Barrel.
