Holding back?  Let's have it, please.  I snapped this inside my friendly neighborhood alphabet agency's vault.  Green is HAWT, and just what I need.

Do it.

Please.

Beautiful. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

I think it was the vaults lighting playing tricks on your eyes.

Yeah...no.  It was green.  Glorious green.  Not OD, not foiliage, not lime, not kelly, but a perfect green.  Very similar to the green color of Colt's hard to find green receiver extensions.

Plus, there's the Magpul FDE grip there for contrast.  And a nice, old, Colt grey M16A1 lower.  And the nice, current Colt black M4 upper.

I have one of these... it's green, brown, tan... depends on the light! I'll post pictures of how the color manipulates

unfortunately said agency has not allowed us to make the rail available commercially

What about an all Geißele rifle?

14.5" mid length? Yes please!

It's gets greener under more white light I've noticed. It's crazy how much the color changes. Contemplating actually using this rail... or packaging it up and saving the minty goodness this unicorn is.

I would love a 10.5 rail"

9.5" is just too short for an 11.5" barrel.
3/12/2017 1:35:20 PM EDT
[#15]
Yeah a 10.75 would be ideal for 11.5 barrels, which seem to be taking over what used to be the 10.3/5 market

Yeah, 10.75 is the best for 11.5" barrels. They're missing some of the market not offering something there, but maybe there hasn't been the demand in the past. Maybe they'll offer that at some point.

Yep,

10.75 and 11.75 would be nice.

I plan to use a 12" ALG on my 12.5" Grendel build. Probably will have to mill some of the rail down for use with my supressors

Notice that that stuff's all still left in the rack while all but one of the ARs are out getting used.



I remember when the HK 416 SMRs were first released, they were supposed to come in OD as well as Sand--an OD and the HK shooting team red 416 SMRs have been among my "grails."  Interestingly enough, I don't own a single black one.

Hey Geissele, does the green have a cool acronym as well? ODD? Olive Disruptive Drab? Haha

I have one of the "blueprint" sheets that came with one of my HK rails that lists the green as an option still, I'll dig it out for confirmation of the acronym.

They torment us with their mk1 pics!


I used to be happy just having two black mk1s

Count me in for a 15" mk8 in green.

I ended up switching from an 11.5" barrel to 10.3" because of the lack of a 10.75" Geissele rail.

I messaged them a little bit ago about doing a run of MK4s in ODG. I have seen the factory finish, it is beautiful.

I guess I could buy a rail of theirs and have it painted.... hmmm...

I started  a petition for them to make the green rails in Mk1(my choice) , MK4, and Mk8

I love mine! But it's more of a brown, definite green under white light. 10in Mk4 FBI HRT rail problems.. color matching anything.
