I'm starting a first build and was wondering about color matching accessories from different manufacturers. I'm wanting to go with the Flat Dark Earth color on the buttstock, grip, hand guard, etc. Probably going with magpul and BCM mainly, not etched in stone.

Unless it's from the same manufacture they won't match.

We'll craaapp!! If they're going to call it FDE it should be the same color. Thanks for the reply.

It will usually be pretty close though.

Magpul Pmag, MOE forearm, MIAD grip and UTG stock:



You can see the grip vs stock more here:



My second rifle is also FDE but with a UTG Pro Super Slim handguard, it is really close too.

Glare makes more difference than anything.  The forearm is a different contour than the stock and grip and vice versa, so until you play with it they can look a lot more different than they are.

That looks good. I can live with that. Thanks
