left mine in an ammo can full of clp
Did all that CLP fall off the back of an MSVS? Hahahahaha! I should have just borrowed some from the arty guys as they dump that stuff down the guns by the gallon. Instead, I cheaped out and used a zip lock back and some G96 (just because it smells nice). Unfortunately, it didn't darken up the lower quite enough:

Looks okay here, but when mated up to my IUR, you can see the difference:

Looks okay though:

Color variations between uppers and lowers aren't exactly strange on the work rifle:

Also, my OCD got the best of me when someone offered me a green cover and ambi mag release (when I've never, ever used the ambi mag release on my C7, lol!):

By the way, does anyone know the torque specs between the mount and the optic? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. My google-fu is weak.
