I've asked this question on thehighroad.org and I didn't get too many answers so I'll ask it here as well. I'm probably going to be in the market for an AR in the upcoming months (trying to build one before November) and I had a question about the color of the Del-Ton upper finish. I'm thinking of buying a separate lower with a rifle kit from Del-Ton. I'd like to put together a rifle whose finish matched between the upper and lower receivers. I'm pretty sure that the Stag Arms lower finish matches Del-Ton's. I'm also considering a Mega lower, but I'm not sure if the finish would match the color of the Del-Ton upper. I've heard that the color of Mega lowers is unique. The obvious answer would just be to buy a Del-Ton lower but I'd like to add that I would rather purchase the Mega, or rather the Coleman Tyler (Mega also makes it), because of the nicer engraving. I'd also want to specifically find out about the Stag Arms lower since I want to buy one for a gift for someone that will probably be also using a Del-Ton kit as well. This is where I plan on buying the lower from: http://www.colemantyler.com/products.php?cat=122 What I'm basically asking is, what is a good lower/lowers that you guys know would match the Del-Ton finish? Price range ~$100 Here's what I found out so far: Perfect/Near Perfect Matches: Anvil Arms Stag Arms Doublestar Very Slightly Off: Mega/Coleman Tyler Anybody have any info on other brand lowers, especially ones with cool engravings? I also might be considering DPMS. I know that there has to be someone on here with a DPMS/Del-Ton AR. |

I'll post a pic in a bit when I dust off the camera. here http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll272/policesniper-8652/IMGP0298.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll272/policesniper-8652/IMGP0299.jpg Specs: Del-Ton 14.5" M-4 upper w/ Vltor VC-1 FH SpikesTactical Lower w/ HK style full-auto fire control markings & USMC E.G.A.
