Are the new FDE ACR’s still multi colored?
My preference.
Who is doing cerakote work for ACR’s?

There is no such thing as a factory FDE ACR. The ACR is made in black and coyote brown. And all the parts match in color, as they always have. It is not like the 50 shades of FDE that the SCAR is.

Thanks - I have seen the color referred to as FDE, but coyote is correct.
I am okay with the different shades of coyote.

So the new ACR's are coming out a uniform color for all components.

They are, and always have been, uniform for all the parts that are supposed to be coyote brown. There are still plenty of small parts that are black, like screws, sling loop, etc.

That’s rather misleading. While not the color abortion that is the scar, the coyote ACR upper and lower have essentially never been truly identical in color. Mine certainly isn’t. They’re close enough, but it sounds like your comments have led OP to believe that they are completely uniform.
