| Are there any retailers, preferably online, who sell lower parts kits that are more authentic from a retro perspective (color-wise, etc.) than others? |
|
As far as the inexpensive current manufactured parts, Doublestar seems to have a slightly-less-than-black color on the steel parts in the few kits of theirs that I've bought.
RRA is a LITTLE less black than the DPMS kits I've bought...DPMS being very black as you know. All said and done, you might as well Naval Jelly the steel parts and gunkote/duracoat the aluminum parts on a cheapo kit. Or just play the waiting game until the nice grey parts pop up. You will pay the price for military-type parts kits, but you can do that too. I'm sure others will chime in. |

Parts I either find gray (Aluminum) or make gray with Naval Jelly (Steel) or send to victor for anodizing.
