B5 has a coyote color as well and it's not the same as the Coyote put out by LMT, KAC (they call it Taupe, but it's te same color). |

Hopefully the orange tint isn't too bad... When the eotech itself is 3 shades of tan, and the ris rail and kac are another two Shades of tan, what is another 3-4 shades of tan on the same gun...  |

Agreed, my Block 2 rifle uses a tan upper, lower, rail, optic, front sight and rear sight. None of them match

Haha, I don't care if they mismatch. There's just something about B5's FDE that makes me want to bash my face in. |

Obviously, I don't care either. That is why there are 6 shades of tan on my rifle now, I forgot the rail covers. and there may be a few more shades...but the buttstock will stay black...what? the like new black Lmt sopmod was only 80 shipped.
ETA: you know the different shades are intentional, right? Built in Camo, otherwise people would have to paint the guys to break up their outline...  |

So I ordered an LMT FDE, waaaay better, if only it wasn't $80 more. |

Why do people know that they don't have a Bock II/1.5, acknowledge that it is the wrong thread, but insist on posting their non-Block II clone anyways?
I. Just. Don't. Get. It.  |

Same goes with the MK18 and M16A4 clone threads. If you don't have a weapon that copies are closely resembles those 3 firearms, you shouldn't be posting them in threads that are devoted to such. He could have posted that same pic in 3, maybe 4 other threads depending on the manufacturer and would have been fine. I wouldn't go post a Daniel Defense DDM4 in a BCM picture thread because it had a BCM Charging handle I put in it. |

You should see the KAC gear threads. "I can't afford an SR15 or SR25, but I threw a KAC rail panel I bought off the EE on a Bushmaster rifle that has YHM rail on it!!!!"  |
