As the title states I'm looking for a NEW complete ar-15 A2 stock kit in BLACK.

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. All of the A2 stocks I can find so far are a grey colour. I already have a DPMS kit which is also grey but I would like to get one that is actually black. Are these that hard to find in Canada or am I simply not looking hard enough?

Thanks for your help.
 
Well I think the difficulty is in the A2. A2 usually implies a mil spec stock for the M16A2, and the military specification for that rifle dictated a particular colour and matte finish, which is makes it a bit less than what one would expect for something called black. This was on purpose, as there aren't many things in nature that are black black, and there are probably some light spectrum and observation equipment factors to be considered that makes black black undesirable as well.

If you are building a gun to be mil spec like, then you should just accept the milspec for what it is. If you want something that is black black, stop asking for an A2 stock in your google searches. Or if you really want black, paint?
 
Thanks so far guys. I get that the mil-spec A2 stock isn't going to be truly black but I was hoping that someone, somewhere, would make one that is actually black. I can't stand the look of a greyish coloured buttstock on my rifle that is otherwise completely black. I know UTG makes a black one but I can't find one anywhere, plus I tend to avoid their inferior products.
If nothing turns up then I will, as a last resort, get the paint out.
 
I bought one from P&D in Edmonton a couple years ago. Came with the tube, spring and buffer. Looking back on it I should have bought 3 or 4 for the price I got this one for, could have made some money :p
