mine is not that close of a match between the handguard and the upper, the handguard and the lower match pretty well, with the upper reciever section being much more golden..im guessing that like anything some match better than others as most of the pics i saw prior to ordering the color match from upper to handguard was unnoticeable.
i wiped it down with a light oil and there is no real difference. not really a deal breaker but not going to be a gun i pull out to show off when someone new wants to see a LaRue. ill try to figure out how to post a pic. old guy problems..lol

Normal if so. |

I assume the receivers are 7075T6 while the Handguard is 6000 series. Gonna be damn near impossible to get anodizing to match exactly. I’d rather have a superior finish such as anodizing that is mismatched than some sprayed on cerakote that is matching. YMMV.

I seem to recall this was an issue that Mark (???) addressed some time ago when the black receivers and rails were slightly off (purple shade). A coat of oil with a wipe down resolved the issue. IIRC it was what you said about the differing types of stock. |

6061 and 7075 aren't going to take the dye the same in anodizing. That's the difference in the receivers and handguard.

You might want to take a better look at the website. The color difference is, in fact, visible. The color is fine. The upper is likely a different stock than the lower and hand guard, and looks better than SCAR or ACR ever did. Happy with mine. It’s like complaining about a Sig P320 M17/M18 or a Glock 19X have two tones. It’s not junk, it’s the way the different metals and/or finish blast affect how the anodize turns out. Shoot it or sell it.  Attached File |

Enjoy, y'all. I had to bow out. No $2K available right now and its hard to justify 'yet another 16" 5.56 rifle', _even_ a LaRue, even if its damn pretty.
Hopefully this leads to more cool selections for you down the road. I was hoping for a new list.... |

Ditto. A longer barrel, or a different caliber, I would have done a lot to make that possible. I already have a pretty 16" 5.56 in Rearden Oxide and a small batch of black ones.
I also had problems with the email announcing this not showing up; fortunately a friend pinged me. Still hoping for a new list. But if Mark continues this for the truly stubborn and monetarily endowed, more power to them. |

after a couple months with the black and tan i must say it runs like a raped ape, just hit 1000 rounds with zero malfunctions and only one clean at 500 rounds just cause i was changing the muzzle device to run my tranquillo,
i still wish the color match was better but as far as reliability it gets a a+ both suppressed and unsuppressed. now the question is was that the end of the build AR? |
