Does any company make a lower in the old retro colt XM grey color that is in stock?

I'm well aware of NDS but it does not need to be a retro a1 lower and I don't want to wait 6 months for this kind of build I'm trying to do.

It also has to be a stripped lower as I'm building a pistol.

Thanks!

Besides Nodak, Mckay Enterprises is the only other vendor who sells stripped lowers anodized in XM Grey, and i was not impressed at all by the Mckay lower i bought a year ago.  The other option is to send a normal lower off for anodizing at US Anodizing, and there is a forum member here who started doing some, sorry i can't remember who it is that was doing this.  Or you can go with the painting option.

Check out R Guns. They have gray A2 lowers as well.

If all else fails, buy a black lower and get some Moly Resin.
