This thread is to view, discuss, and appreciate the infinite shades of Geissele DDC/Sand.
Anodizing varies from batch to batch. If you have a Geissele DDC/Sand product, post a photo!

Damn that's a good looking charging handle
Quoted:
Super Precision mount and charging handle are more toward the goldish/copper end, while the SM rail is more toward the dull, actual sand color end. Doesn't matter one bit to me, I love all the different shades of brown/tan on this rifle.

Don't forget how direct sunlight can affect the color. This rail is blacker than black but shows up different under direct sunlight. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g260/broussard_w/BBQ1/IMG_20160718_165744583_zpsiycol4hk.jpg Hey, that's not DDC.

Color comparison between DDC and several other companies:
Wilcox Industries (riser and flip mount), EOTech (XPS and G.33), H&K (charging handles), and Surefire (M600C). The ejection port cover is polymer and molded in H&K's RAL8000 color. I know, I know, I should be shunned for not having a Geissele charging handle, then having the gall to come in here and post an H&K charging handle, but I thought some might enjoy seeing the color comparison between so many different manufacturers. And, to be fair, I ordered these before the Geisseles were available for order, it's just that they just now got here from Germany.

I think I've got FDE flavors from most major manufacturers here. And I've switched out the Mk4 for a Mk8, which is a slightly different color. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/mfblog/Guns/AR-15/101_0865_zpsc87a7e27.jpg Are the upper and lower receivers an FDE anodized 6920? Looks great. cheers |

That is just sexy. Even that FN / Insight piece. What AR receiver set or upper/lower is that? |
Sorry for bumping an older topic, but has anyone gotten a DD stock and or grip in their milspec brown to see how close it is to matching DDC? I just got a mk4 mod 1 in ddc on an upper I bought and am wanting to get a stock that is close to matching if possible. I know there are countless shades of ddc but the DD milspec color looks as close as I've seen.

Also, I know I fail for not posting a pic but photobucket is garbage lately and I don't know how else to post a pic, especially from my phone. Send me an IM and I can help you with your photo. As far as furniture goes, depending on the particular shade, I think DDC/Sand matches well with coyote brown/field drab/taupe/lmt fde shades of brown. At the same time, I like all the different shades and contrasts. Plus, DD furniture isn't that great. |
Seems I never posted these here:
