    Finish on NEA stripped lowers

    Just wondering if these have the greyish finish or if they're blacker now?

    I would call it very very dark grey. They are darker than the original ones. A lot of the original ones were really dry so they looked grey.

    If you can handle a KAC URX rail, they are the same colour.

    Graphite Grey would be a good description
    This one is not a blem or "Z" marked Lower

    Just got one from SFRC 2 days ago. They look dark grey until you put a black handle on it....then it looks very grey.
    It has a weird anodization to it; kinda chalky. Either way I'm doing a run of black Cerekote this weekend so I don't care.

    Ya that's what I was thinking. If it bugs me I'll paint it. I already have a 10.5 nea and it could be pink for all I care as long as it works.

    You know it's funny, the 10.5 build I have used an NEA upper and lower obviously not matched, and I was expecting the dry grey colour I saw in so many online photos,..but when it arrived from another nutter,.. the lower looked a perfect flat black to me.

    For the same light comparison side by side,..I just stood it next to an ArmaliteM15A4 and a Colt. The NEA lower has exactly the same smooth flat black of the Armalite, which are some of the nicest finished AR's around in my mind.

    The upper, looks a light plum tinted black, almost a lightened version of the Russian SVT-40 with it's refurbed plum coloured bolt carrier. Colt is smooth dark grey, almost like parkerize.

    If I had an NEA matching set of the colour on my lower, I'd be mighty pleased as would others I'm sure.:D
    A Glock pistol is "Perfection" in every direction. As for myself,....... Have Gun, will Babble.
