Which one of these will give the best match to the original colt gray? http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=4001/sku/Dark_Parkerizing_Gray or http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=3996/sku/Parkerizing_Gray If the both are no good please let me know. archer |

Not sure which of those two are closest to the original Colt gray, but I have used Norrells Moly Resin in " GRAYISH-BLACK Flat " with GREAT results!
Norrells Moly Resin - GRAYISH-BLACK Flat: "...Dark gray-black coloration with a flat appearance. This duplicates the appearance of the early original Colt AR-15/M-16 finish. This is the same product that is purchased from us by the U.S. Military to refinish Colt M-16's." |
This stock was done in Norrell's "flat grey-black". Also, the upper on the E2 carbine (top) was done with the same stuff. The lower is a Nodak, and the other upper (bottom) is factory Colt gray.
And another picture that shows all three colors together: Nodak lower, factory Colt upper, and Norrell's grey-black Molyresin stock.
