I'm planning my next 1911, (new style MC Operator, threaded barrel, Nighthawk magwell with new internals)
Has anyone been able, or even tried to match the green Armory Kote with anything aftermarket?
I know i could leave it black, but I'm toying around with ideas right now.

Personal opinion
But I would go the other way
And black kote the receiver

SACS can refinish the pistol with the green you request.

They've got a black/black operator now with a magwell, but not front strap treatment
I like the two tone. On my last one I left the magwell black, might do it again, just looking for different options.

This is my Champion done in Birdsong black & green T finish, done when I sent it to SACS a few years ago. I don't know how close that is to the MC Operator though. Not a very good pic I'm afraid.

Its just Olive Drab (OD). There are different versions of OD but you should still be able to come pretty close. The whole idea of it in the first place was to simulate the gray/green color of the Parkerized M1911A1 receivers they used in the early MEU-SOC pistols, so really just Parkerized would be more authentic. But, if you want the OD paint, there are many to chose from in bake-on or air-dry epoxy.
