As Tig said ... LMT. Although it isn't gray anodizing. Its dry film lube. It does wear and you will see black underneath ... or ... I'm seeing black from my stock body on my RE.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's dry film lube. Same as what they spray inside of uppers. I can say the LMT tube with DFL is my absolute favorite. The seemingly insignificant additional mils of thickness imparted by the DFL makes most stock bodies fit nice and snug. |

Customer service/attitude have sucked in the past. Maybe better now? I just wrote them off and never looked back. Others here could probably give you a better feel for current details. Either way, they seem to have what you seek. |

I have communicated and ordered from rguns recently, actually ordered one of their anodized buffer tubes. Everything from start to finish of the process was top notch.

I'm (sort of) local to RGuns, and visited a couple times years ago.
Folks were friendly, and the parts selection dwarfed any other 'black gun' shop I've ever been to. Larry |

I have had LMT tubes for many years that are still gray; they just wear to black on the high spots.
They're a really nice part. |

Send it to Victor @ US Anodizing. He did a 2 position buffer tube for a xm177 build for me a few years back in his "XM" gray. It matched the early Colt A1 receiver to a tee.

Mine was black when I sent it to him. I don't know the process he used, but I would think he probably stripped it.

Pretty sure it'll need a trip to the blast cabinet prior to ano.

It's been years ago, but last time I ordered from RGUNS it took 6 months to get the products I ordered. It was nothing but constant lies from them and shitty attitudes. I'd rather put my junk in a blender then ever deal with them again.

Not to get off topic, but I ordered this handguard through RGuns. Quality and finish are top notch. Customer service was great and shipping was fast. They even went out of their way to measure the inner diameter to ensure my suppressor would fit underneath. |
