LBE makes a "brown" anodized buffer tube, it is almost identical in color to the G ddc tubes. Super nice quality, much nicer than any of the rguns tubes I've bought. I'll post some pics soon.
Edit: they also have a grey color that looks good too. It has less of the red purplish hue that the G tubes can have but it's much closer to flat dark earth than most anodized parts will be. The rguns is on the right and it looks gold compared to the LBE.  Attached File |

Wonder why you can't find a tanodized upper receiver?
Seems like someone would sell them vs cerokote FDE. I just need the upper as I plan on using a CLE or DD barrel over a geissele barrel. |

You're preach'n the choir my friend. I hate to even look back at my spreadsheets for my builds. Ugh. So much coin... None the less, the Colt FDE Anno lower will be pure badass. And a Federal DDC MK4 rail to boot? Sweet. I've settled into 10.5" as my favorites.. I can only "ball" with MK8's on mine, but hey.. still great rails! Rock on brother, happy shooting. |

I was considering cutting the 6920 barrel down to 10.5" and using this cerakoted Centurion C4 cutout on it. I'm going to wait until I get the gun and see the coloration of the receivers before I make that call however.
 Here's what it looked like on a 10.3 MK18-esque build.

Would love to not spend $75 on a Geissele or get stuck with a questionable RGuns RE (only readily available, viable options IMO). Hoping for a middle ground. Strike industries offers an anodized FDE RE and Timber Creek has one in an FDE, but it’s coated and not anodized. Not the premium option but an option nonetheless. I have the Geissele and it’s a nice one for sure. |

Geissele had blems with an SBA3 for $100 for a while. If they're not gone I'd grab one and then sell the SBA3 for like $60.

Pictured below is my humble offering to the Tano crowd.
Pictured top left is a R-Guns (accidentally bought Commercial…) Top right is a Backwoods Bronze, which is actually more hideous in real life. Attached to the lower is an extension from Outdoor Tactical Suppliers, which matches the Aero Tano best of the three. Other parts include Aero Tanodized M4E1 w/ 9” Atlas set, a DDC Geissele SCH, FDE BCM Mod-0, Aero LPK, MBT-2S, Toolcraft Nitride BCG, and a FDE cerakoted end plate by Timber Creek. I have a 10” BA 300 barrel on the way, and this will get a Magpul FDE SL once the F1 is back.
