if you have Norrells socom black, you could mix that 50/50 with grayish black and might be good, if not do some test pieces until you get the right ratio. Of course straight black might do it, so try that first.

Quoted:
I've used Norrell's in flat grayish black for a Colt M16A1 clone in the past and been very satisfied with the results. I just picked up an H&R upper for another build and the finish is significantly darker, almost black. Does anyone have experience with moly resin and H&R parts? Would I be correct in assuming that flat black would get me the closest match? The front half of the lower receiver is from a demilled H&R M16A1 and retains the original color.

What color of Norrel's did you use on it?

What color of Norrel's did you use on it? I used the greyish black also. Pre-heated to 300 degrees, spray a light coat, Then cured at 325 degrees for about an hour and a half to give it the slight greenish appearance. Should start watching is after about an hour until it reaches your desired color. The following pictures are of an original H&R that was for sale on Gun Broker. It was listed as a NOS rifle. Hope this helps.

I'll try some scrap pieces with a longer cure time and see how it turns out. Thanks for the help.
