I noticed that both new grips, the K2 and the MIAD 1.1 are not offered in Foliage Green.
Is Foliage Green on its way out? |
|
Since UCP is going to be around a while longer it would seem premature to retire it.
Anyway I like it or rather I prefer it to OD (the only other green). I feel that OD is too dark and you have the same basic problem you have with a black rifle in terms of concealment. It would be nice if a Magpul rep would comment ...

It's just the least popular color and as such the last one to get produced.
Don't know if you know this but there was a major run on all things AR a few months ago. This run had Magpul adopt the Henry Ford color scheme. Now that demand is easing up they've been producing other colors, but they are just getting to Foliage. |

Quoted:
Foliage is one of the best colors, but is less than 5% of their sales. So AR15 owners are no different that the general public. FDE is for wannabe sandbox operators. And every girl needs a little black dress. And where the hell is stealth gray? FDE isn't as popular as it used to be. |

Really, the most important reason for me to change the furniture/paint my guns is, black stuff gets hot in the desert for most of the year. Even OD is MUCH cooler to pick up after it's been sitting in the sun for a bit than black.
