The finish matches perfectly in my opinion.

If it doesn't match, then you have a reason to paint it.

This one is the dueling dicks lower. The upper now sits on a honey bagger lower and it looks the same.

I have a Spike's SBR lower and I often use  a BCM 11.5 upper. It matches and functions perfectly.

All my BCM uppers are on Spikes lowers that I built myself





The same BCM 16" Socom upper your wanting, on a "pure" (all Spikes parts) lower



BCM 16" "Standard" Carbine upper on a Spikes lower using PSA LPK with ALG Defense trigger







BCM 16" "CHF Middy on a Spikes lower, PSA parts kit. The PSA trigger on this is the smoothest I've got, even better than the ALG trigger

Impossible to tell in advance.  Best of luck, but don't get your hopes up - anodizing finishes can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, from batch to batch, etc.

My main rifle is a BCM upper and spikes lower.

Couldn't be happier with it.
Link Posted: 9/30/2016 8:22:15 AM EDT

Mine don't match at all.

The BCM upper is a grey color while the spikes lower is an even black.

Doesn't bother me at all.

BCM 14.5" M4 upper on a Spikes spider lower

OP, you won't notice it after a day...at least I didn't. There was a slight difference...but not huge.

Thanks.

Don't get hung up on the color of the upper and lowers matching 100%. These things are done in batches and there is enough tolerance between batches that companies still deem acceptable.

Also don't get hung up on having the same companies lower to match the same brand upper. Most AR builders mix and match parts anyway, unless you want a "pure" rifle for resale proposes. Any of those rifles in my photo's lowers equals the quality of a BCM factory built lower.

The only stripped lowers I have left in my stash at PSA's. I might do 1 more BCM upper build depending on funds and have no issues using one of those if needed.

There's never any guarantee ever that a lower will match an upper, even from the same company.  If you want it to match, paint it, or hope for the best.

Now for the upper is it recommended to get a 14.5 inch m4 socom barrel or the 16 inch?

You might as well get the 16'. If you get the 14.5" you have to either have it pinned, add $45 bucks for BCM to do it or deal with a tax stamp.

The 16" is being offered with BCM's Mod 0 compensator, that's a $85 dollar upgrade on the 14.5''.
