Great first pic! Looks like DDC was made to match Colt FDE.

Here's some (bad) pics of my green 13.5" MK16 and ACH. They look kinda tanish in the pics, but in person they're a super pretty green anodizing.

Did you just get the Mk16 from Geissele or is it a take off? 16" barrel, right?

I still need to know the ID and width of the Mk16 and the mass of the 9.3" version.

@GACS @sagmill
Any word on how many of the black, gray, and green were made in each length? Any pictures of rails getting made, in the white, etc.? Any info on the ID, width, or weight of the 9.3"? |

DDC versus green. They look beautiful together.

I'm not a photographer, but my OD Green MK16 kit came today as well. I agree the photos don't do it justice; the green is amazing. I wish I could have purchased an ODG 9.3" MK16 along with the DDC I got.

Quoted:
My guess would just be the number of rails available. Probably more 13.5s to go around so they did more colors. Probably figured black and DDC are their main colors and probably the most popular so just did the 9.3" in those colors. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The grey is beautiful. All the colors are. I have to give it to Geissele and their anodizing. It's a step above most. The grey ACH is a bit lighter in shade than the rail, but still looks great. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Green Mk16 kit and Mk4 Federal showed up yesterday. Immediately swapped out my Mk14 DDC for the Mk16. I'm a big fan. https://i.imgur.com/imMu2KJ.jpg Lots of other Geissele goodies here too.... View Quote ETA: Never mind. I just realized it's black, not green. |

Got my 9.3" upper in. Packaged so well and vacuum sealed so tight that I can't even move the plastic. Impressed, as usual from GA.

Wow! This is perfect. Ideally how I want to build mine but it will host an eotech for now until I can get the funds for a LPVO and G mount. Geissele cleaned me out on their BF sale

Until the form 1 approves, hoping for another 11 day return. Still needs KAC BUIS, and a few other things. RC2 should be out of jail next month. Lighting sucks today because it’s really cloudy, will take some better pics tomorrow. Can’t wait to shoot this Sunday!

@871JZ ODG Mk4 in the sunlight. It's definitely much darker than my Mk16, and has more of a gloss to it, whereas the Mk16 is more matte. Very pretty either way. https://i.imgur.com/AJUaKMH.jpg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted: Gotcha. Looks good. Still need to get used to the look of those 1.93"+ Geissele mounts, though. Do it. Mine is gorgeous. Thanks. I thought it was green at first, but then looked at the pic again and thought it was black. I'd love to see that rail in the sunlight just to see how it compares to my green MK16.
