Haha I'm not sure either. My DPMS lower has a matte black finish, while yours has sparkles(?) underneath. I figured that it was the teflon coating because I don't think mine is. Supposedly, the teflon finish is better.

That's awesome, you did a great job.  I have a free float rail that I want to install on one of my guns one of these days.  Your pics make it look easy.

I'm going with MBUS on mine. Good enough for me without paying $200. I figure that I'll be using the optic more than irons so I'll take the money I save from irons and buy a better optic. IMHO
