Who's Lower is as Black as the new Norc's??

[stormdog]

I was thinking of changing out the lower on my Norc M4 copy to another make. A long story... I've had some older Colts and Bushmasters and they are nowhere near the charcoal black Norcs. Any out there know who makes one as black that matches the Norc upper. Thank in advance!!

why change out the lower?

I know my RRA lower is pretty dark compared to my LMT upper.

This would make an excellent sticky: AR15 color matching. Would be nice to know what finishes match with uppers/lowers/barrels/etc.

An entire thread dedicated to color co-ordinating?... I'm not gonna say it...

what difference do the different lowers make?
ive seen the prices range from 150 to 350 for stripped lowers and im trying to understand what differences are there

$6.75 can of flat black heat resistant paint will do the trick, even if the paint wear off around the edge and exposes the oem finish it will still look pretty good since it is still dark

I think two tone ARs are ###y. Maybe that's just me.

 

[Artiz]

^^ Yep, that's just you. ... nah I kid, I kid.

As a matter of fact, I prefer AR's that look all beat-up and discolored rather than shiny ones.

Yup, if you have to endure the crappy machining and substandard parts of a Norc, it should at least be well color co-ordinated.

Although generalities can be made, it can be impossible to say definitely what colour you'll get from X make. Different batches from the same manufacturers could be quite different. Some brands (such as Noveske) might source different receivers at different times, and use different parts for different models. When you buy a complete rifle from them, they just do a matching job for you from what they have.

Barbie for men lmao. I kinda agree that if someone was in the know it might help another nutter.

Spoken like an arrogant snob who's probably never seen one. Look out, I think your overpriced Colt is rubbing against the felt in the safe and getting a smudge mark!

Spoken like an arrogant snop who doesn't know jack about AR-15's.

Wish I hadn't! I'd have a better opinion of them.

You're concerned I care about MY Colt getting a smudge mark, yet you're the one who wants an AR15 color matching sticky? OK then ...
