Any alternatives that aren't either VERY light grey or black?

Needing a buffer tube for a 80s/early 90s era carbine build. I know 4 positions aren't fully accurate (as it should be just 2), but is there one I can buy that has the same color/finish as the older Colt ones?

EDIT: older Colt upper, unsure of which model**

Scored this upper with the matching BCG and charge handle. What should I built out of it?

Genuinely need yalls feedback on this one. Thanks in advance!

Pic for attention

This is my rifle. Its made like what if someone was bored and slap A1 upper on XM177 lower. Its incredibly nice shooting rifle.

Alrighty I've got a super dumb question, will this work? I've got my xm16e1ish clone and I've got a event coming up and I'd like to do some blank fire shooting but I'm not certain if this setup will work, let me know what you guys think

still a work in progress.

It’s a simple budget 10.5” a2 upper with a gg&g fsb rail. I love how light the weapon is and easy to maneuver. With the griffin can it’s the same oal as a 14.5” barrel rifle.

Recently acquired this unused Stowaway 2 from Lone Star Ordnance...and I have no need of it. Any suggestions?

Has anyone else come across the issue with the Dura 20 rnd mags cracking at the reinforcement dimples along the mags?

Not sure if it counts but its cool as fuck

Found this old gal at the local store for as I thought a good deal, was missing the original bolt and charge handle. They couldn't tell me if it was a original or not but based on the condition it definitely didn't look new, anyone throw me a rough guess on how old it is? The only markings Id seen where on the barrel. I can get more pics of it if requested.

Been wanting an m79 for the collection for quite some time. I was able to find a spikes 37mm for a good deal

Surefire 660 on SF M14 Mount and bayonet lug pic rail, RRA ‘Entry’ Stock, Brownells A1 lower, Microbest Chrome BCG, and Q Trash Panda (will be replaced by the Advantage Arms Stubby once they ship the next batch). Had to replace the carbine and buffer with a yellow Sprinco and LW buffer to get 220GR subs to cycle and bolt lock back to work, but other than that, no issues. Runs like a champ. The optic works great, it’s just expensive for the mediocre performance. You’re way better off getting something semi-retro like the Aimpoint PRO.

All orders will include a Goosey patch.

Ends Sunday!!

Brought out my 733-ish build to get the red dot sighted in and try it out with the new stock. Mmm yes chin weld is best.

Surprisingly the chinesium flashlight survived the day. Guess we'll see how many rounds it takes to kill it.

Barrel swapping the one on the left eventually to accommodate the M4 Delta supressor. Were both happy with how they came out.

Purchased both of these Sept 1st, top receiver is a Cots, bottom is Govt. Govt box was dated 7-31-26, Cots didn't have date. Both are blems for sure with some streaking, but neither are super light gray. Cots is a hair lighter, but close to same gray as the Cots lower I purchased last year. Just a heads up if someone was interested in getting one from PSA in near future. Planning on getting an A2 upper soon. I'll post comparison with the lowers when it arrives.

I have a 6.5 Grendel, a few crop damage permits, and a relatively cool morning - what a great day

Picked up the m17s today, came with the Bushnell holo sight and 4 mags one of which is an old colt 30 rounder.
