Did you try the barrel from the freeze and the gas block in the oven trick?

The 50 Shades of ODG continues. Tracking down anodized uppers and lowers in ODG has limited options, if anyone knows of any good matches please let me know.
I tried an 80% combo from ljsarparts.com...I can't use this Kermit bs 
Next I think I am going to try Franklin Armory's Libertas Upper lower -

OK..just received a built upper that is supposed to be a 11.5" HRT barrel. Upon looking at it, the barrel looks short. So, I laid my 10" Geissele rail up to it and the threads on the barrel are very close to the end of the rail. Does this look right? I'm thinking it's a 10.3 barrel.

Thank you. I'll be dealing with the supplier on the issue. Not a happy camper after having to wait almost 2 months for this to arrive. It was supposed to be a birthday present, but slid back to a Xmas present, which still arrived too late, and now this. Safe to say this supplier will never see another dime of my hard earned money.

Seriously though. If it says 11.5 URG, that's what you should get. Not your fault. |

Really surprised on how many different colors variations there on the rails. Here's mine next to a ODG magpul stock and a anodized colt buffer tube.
**  ** A picture of it with a flash on the camera. **  ** I was hoping that the rails were going to match the magpul a little closer. If anyone has a darker rail (closer to magpul odg) and would like to trade. hit me up, maybe we can work something out. *** |

Green rail came today. Pretty close match to the Colt Upper/Lower it will be used on that was one of the $550 expanse clearance guns. Wish I would have scooped up 5-6 more of them when they blew them out or at least one of the FDE ones.

I got the one I ordered, green is a great green, not too bright, not too dark, more matte than gloss. I think ones that are way off are few and far between.

My rails delivered a few days before Christmas. Initially I wasn't so hot on the dark ODG Mk4 rail but its been sitting on my desk for a few days and I'm liking it the more I see it. Ano is so weird with its color variations and capturing that on camera. Here are some shots with the ACH and a Hogue ODG grip for this build along with a Mk16 rail I purchased to get the CH. I actually like the color of the Mk16 more but as long as the other bits that I get for the build go together I'll be ok with it. Not sure if I will do a ODG receiver extension. The upper/lower will be black. Was actually looking at picking up a RRA set as they had the FBI contract for a while.
If anyone has a rail that's a closer match to the Hogue ODG (I'd call it lighter) grip I'd be up for a trade if you want my "blackish" ODG rail (I'd call it darker). Almost wished I could have driven over to Geissele and hand picked my color ;-) |
