I'd settle for a used black one if the price is right and then Cerakote it (I hear Patriot Brown is a close match). You can find them in the EE, every week another one will pop up. Best deal is to buy one that's on a compete upper. Here's a great deal on one for $550(keep in mind retail on the rail alone is 425), just have ADCO cut the barrel to 14.5 and pin muzzle device or leave as 16. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_159/1394032_RECCE_16_upper_and_a_Centurion_10_rail_for_sale___Rainier_select_barrel_and_DD_RAS_II_on_upper.html |

I was browsing my cerakote color chip set. I think a 50:50 ratio of chocolate brown and burnt bronze would give you the DD FDE tone. I'm going to experiment when I get my air compressor.

Really is a shame DD has ruined the market for building these guns. They claimed they were discontinuing these rails so they could "supply military contacts" but clearly is was just a move to allow them to sell completed uppers and rifles themselves to cash in on the whole BLOCK II craze.
I had someone offer me a complete M4-A1 COLT upper with the RIS II, 14.5 pinned and welded last week for $700.00, I should have said yes because I've had a couple of offers from people wanting $500~600 for JUST the rails. I was really hoping to build another BLOCK II but those SMR MK4's and NSR's are looking way more tempting now. About as bad as that guy who wanted $350.00 dollars for the 4-prong Surefire! Sigh...

I do wish they would continue selling the rails separately as well. You know things are drying up when a DD rep posts in the mk 18 thread looking to buy the Mk 18 DD RIS II. I agree with the nation that the military orders should come before ours, but think switching to the "only if you buy a complete upper" route is garbage. It's all about cashing in tho, how the world works. |

I often miss my block ii rifles. But then I shoot my SR15s and remember why I got out of block ii. My sr15s are so much lighter and more comfortable to shoot.
However, if I found myself in possession of another su230, I'd build up a block ii or cqbr quick. |

My 14.5" Block II URG is probably my favorite, and most frequently shot upper, even more so than my CQBR.
I'm also thinking about painting my spare - the only thing keeping me from it now, besides the fact that I would no longer have any "natural" color Block II uppers left - but the upper is an older gray Colt "C AF" marked upper with an IUID etched into left side of the receiver identifying it as a "barrel assembly" and with the P/N. ~Augee |

Now I don't feel so crazy for wanting to buy another one... honestly I'm on the fence between doing a 10.5'' with RIS 2 or a 14.5'' with RIS 2 at some point this year. Then, if I move to a free state for a job there's a piece of me that just wants to do a KACSR15 |
