I've been slimming down the ARs to get into other things but I would definitely keep a tano in the collection.

Geissele Super Duty barrel was a good fit (tight), didn't have to heat it up. here's pics with a G rail. I just sold this upper 2 weeks ago.

Who has stripped tano uppers in stock, putting the DDC upper to the side for a different build.

Thanks for the compliments fellas, from one tanoholic to another.

That's a pretty old picture and she looks a bit different now with a vortex razor instead of the eotech setup. I thought it would be a fun addition to all your great looking rifles in this thread.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but if you buy a Geissele receiver set are they typically anodized together and relatively match or is it luck of the draw?

The two sets I’ve had (DDC and OD) have matched very well. However, when you buy from their site you have to acknowledge you’ve read/understand their information on “Anodizing Shade Variations and Finish Methods” (excerpt below).  For me anyway, the differences in shade/hue are part of why I like the color anodized receivers, etc.



“…Because of this the color on our rails, receivers and other aluminum parts can and will vary from one part to the next, even within the same batch.  It is impossible to put together a rifle where all shades of Type 3 Hardcoat match. Even our black anodized parts, which are very consistently “black”, may show some different shades in certain lighting such as hints of blues, purples and greys.  Our distinctive anodized colors such as DDC, DRT, DAK, OD Green, 40mm Green, Grey and Swedish Green will never be consistent.”

Alan,
Driven Arms Co Shortstop. Absolutely my favorite. I have them on like... 6 rifles right now. The Emissary is spectacular as well, but the DAC works so well for my small hands and grip style.

You will not necessarily get matching anodizing just because you order a matched set.

Just rebuilt this one.

Anyone recommend a good dust cover than can be installed without barrel removal?  I bought a timber creek tano one and it would not stay shut on the G upper.

Not sure if I'm being over particular but rolled the dice on blemed Geissele super duty ddc mk16 and stripped upper. Not sure if I should keep or send down the river and try again. Was hopping for more mismatched color and that rail would at least have some Geissele markings

And the receivers are already out of stock.  I see that they have the Kodiak Brown and FDE anodized buffer tubes too.  Not sure if FDE anodized was an option before.

Thats the best shade of tano

Reminds me of the older Geissele DDC. Has this almost purple/burgundy hue to it. The out and out gold doesn't do much for me (subjective of course).

Definitely looks like a darker DD brown. Still, nice option. Had to Google it today, I went direct to Aero's website yesterday and they weren't listed.
