Most of my tano parts are being delivered this weekend.
As far as tano optics go, are the NX8 and razor the two most attainable options? |

Added some tano.
 (Coyote anodized RMR Type 2.) Attached File Attached FileGoing to throw some Alumahyde Earth Brown on the RM54 at some point before I get it to the range. Took PTO since my last couple range trips fell victim to other priorities. Just need to dremel the coyote dyed BCM grip to fit and get the B5 color matched FCD port cover back and this one is done. |

They have less tilt than my USGI’s but I have no rounds through them yet. Never heard of problems with them but I’m not reaching for any aluminum mag if SHTF anyway. Buy em’ cheap and stack em’ deep philosophy. If they don’t work I’ll toss them. |

Do they use the older GI springs that are compatible with Magpul followers?

Spring is shorter and I couldn’t get a USGI follower past the assembly tabs on the bottom of the mag. I don’t have any Magpul followers to test. I didn’t think to measure them at the time and I view takedown of metal AR mags to be about as appealing as hitting myself in the face with a hammer. I didn’t know these were rebranded C-Products so that sucks. Oh well. I wouldn’t use them anywhere but the range anyway. |

I haven't posted in here in a while. Over the last year I bought a TAC lower and a MSP upper.
The lower is gorgeous. The MSP upper is nice but it is super dark. Like darker than my burnt bronze cerakoted upper.  I'll try to get better pics this weekend with more comparisons. |

FCD Mallard Brown Ano
Noveske Coyote Brown Ano TAC FDE Ano  The FCD and Noveske is pretty close to the old Geissele Sand color. I wish Geissele would do another run of sand on the Mk4 and Mk8 SMRs. |

I think it would match pretty closely with Aero's kodiak (sp?) anodizing. CMT DRT might be a little bit more peachy, but might pair well too. Reading what I just typed, it's like I'm talking about cuts of steak and complimentary wines...

The picture of those shades vs. what they look like in real life is pretty dang close too. Pic was taken on a rainy day with natural light. In direct sun the Noveske color is more reddish brown.

But they no longer offer it since they switched to cerakoted colors |

Question for the Tano aficionados-
Are the reptilia AUS mounts all mostly that same shade of copper ano? I feel like I don’t see a lot of variance in them, or their ROF mounts. I found a PLXC today and let’s be honest, I’m concerned about it coordinating with my rifle. |

I really like the color of the reptilia mounts, I just didn’t know if maybe some of them were more on the “tobacco” spectrum. These Fcd port covers are sweet but damn, I change my mind every day on if it’s fde and looks good, or if it’s actually clear and looks better. |
