Since getting my front sight assembly back from JT working his magic, my XM177E2 project is missing the last piece of the puzzle. I'm needing a grey delta ring. I have a black one and am thinking about using some Naval Jelly on it to lighten it up, but would rather not. If anyone knows where I can get a new or used grey ring, or if anyone has one to trade for my black on, please let me know.

Good to know, I'd never tried it on anodizing hence my reluctance. Thank you for confirming it.

getting it anodized would be the most correct and durable but it's not cheap.  one of the spray on coatings would work.  if you're not worried about wear, some use automotive primer in a spray can.  you may want to try using some fine steel wool and scuffing up the black one, that'll give it a grey appearance.  if it doesn't at least you've prepped it for a spray on finish
