hello folks.
I have an A2 listed and I received a question, well more of a challenge, about the color. I believe this to be grey (more a grey/blue in person). The challenger says its actually black. What says you? Please advise incase i need to modify my listing. Pic by itself, pic with a H&R upper, and pic with a Colt upper (black) that has a greyish detachable carry handle.

I have an FN A2 upper that is about like this, more of a grey/blue as well. Definitely not black by any standard. Good luck with your listing.

Let the guy buy it,or not. Anybody can look at the pic and decide for themselves?

I thought I was going crazy or was color blind. I was even comparing to the classic A2 thread we have here  Quoted: Let the guy buy it,or not. Anybody can look at the pic and decide for themselves? While I agree, I don't think they will be a buyer..... |

You could also just post a comparison pic in the listing too, maybe include a modern black. If the Colt you posted is modern black the harsh light is causing deception. Maybe a softer light on it.
But either way, it’s not modern black, and even then there are shades of that. |

Maybe even natural light would be better.... not a photographer by any means. Pics I posted above are just a few from the actual listing. |

It’s immediately obvious to me that it’s gray just from looking at the rear sight. The contrast of the sight housing and windage knob, both of which are black / dark gray, with the receiver body color is readily apparent and should be to the potential buyer also.

The challenger backed off when I emailed them this thread link....
