I was scouting about for a couple of affordable lowers, posted on the main discussion board,  and was directed toward Essential Arms.  I discovered that they offer a gray finish as an alternative on their lowers (and other parts as well).  Does anyone have experience with this finish and is it a decent match for the Colt M16 and M16A1 uppers?

I've been looking for a picture of an EA lower with CDNN upper for a month or so now.

Let me know if you find anything.

My first assembled kit rifle was built using a cast EA lower.  Although the color was a great match to my mil spec A1 upper  (1989) , the fit was another story.  I would suggest having your upper with you at the purchase.

Pay attention to the front and rear take down pins...make sure they fit your upper  and slide through as intended.

The current Essential Arms forged lowers in toughcoat gray do not match the Colt gray A1 uppers from CDNN.
