I don't think this has been done.

I though it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to currently available anodized parts in colors other than black. Please post parts that are for sale that are in anodized earth colors other than black and I will update. I will probably take a picture of some parts I have next to a Magpul FDE part for color comparison.

Be careful with Rguns however.
The receiver extensions that I received threading kinda sucked and inside of tube looked god awful, very rough with ridges all the way down

American Defense Manufacturing, Wilcox, and Badger Ordnance make some tanodized optic mounts.

Well this thread is going to cost me some money. Excellent idea though.

Anyone have experience with R Guns receivers, carry handles or CH?

Very cool.

Any sources for Tan receiver extensions outside of G and Rguns that are 7075?

Good to know. I'm not vouching for the quality of any of the parts, just listing that they are anodized in a color that isn't black.

Added along with PRI. Thanks!

I went to their store and looked at them in person. There is a bit of variance in color. I am thinking about getting detachable carry handles and 80% lowers.

Hopefully Vltor soon. Send them a message so they know there is demand.

Strike industries has:
Fde dust covers-polymer and aluminum
Fde forward assist
Fde takedown pins
Fde end plate
Fde safety

Radian has
Fde talon safety
Fde charging handle-the levers any way

I'll add Strike Industries but I believe all of the Radian stuff is Cerakote.

Anyone know of a place that makes anything in grey anodizing?  Specifically a receiver extension and charging handle

Vic at US Anodzing can take care of that.

Nodak Spud sells XM Gray parts but they're dark gray.

@OilfieldTrash78 R Guns has some that are gray anodized and NiB coated. The NiB ones are pretty hot.

Reptilia Corp has stuff
RDS mounts and flashlight bodies.

I'll add them. Thanks.

Trijicon ACOG ECOS SU-237 weapon sight was anodized on the older models, including the A.R.M.S. dual lever base
Trijicon also did a special run of tan anodized TA31 acogs for the distributor RSR

Good to know. I'm keeping the list as currently available however.

Cloud Defensive has their COR rails anodized in grey, OD, and FDE

Strike Industries makes one

Thanks!

Great idea.

Eotech?

I was under the impression that all of their newer items were Cerakoted. Are the hoods still anodized?

ETA: @2apatriot

I have a receiver set in sand. The lower was good to go. The front lug on the upper is a hair small causing a little wiggle when attached to numerous lowers. Nothing a little o-ring on the lug didn't fix immediately.

Some visual motivation to tanodize ALL the things!

Pics are definitely welcome! That reminded me to add ALG to the list.

@pezboytate Don't forget BCM (ion bonded FDE BCG).

I was thinking about things like that but I'll probably keep this thread to anodized parts.

I have a pair of those No Elcan’s on the list?

I won't add the ACOGs since they are discounted but I'll add the Elcans.

Please continue posting about things that were once available though. I can always make a separate section for that later.

Eotech.

JE Machine tech has fde anodized receiver extensions

https://jemachinetech.us/ar15-m4-223-8-position-mil-spec-fluted-buffer-tube/

Got it, thanks.

VLTOR will be releasing ODG anodized parts soon per personal communications with company employees working on the project, shot show, and social media.

SLR Rifle Works will cerakote (I counted 82 colors available) any handguard, upper, or lower they offer for $42 extra.  Add the cerakote service to your shopping cart in equal quantity to items to be coated.  (I've ordered 2 handguards from them this way and they did a good job.)

https://slrrifleworks.com/cerakote/hand-guard-cerakote/

The problem is finding many of the misc and small parts in colors other than black and FDE (and sometimes even that).  Things like Handstops, handguards, pins, end plates, magazine release, buffer tube, etc.

Timber Creek Outdoors has a number of items in multiple colors.

I think all of those are Cerakoted. We're only looking for items anodized in earth tones. They do have blue and red anodized but that doesn't help us much.

Anyone know somewhere that has Mlok QD sling mounts?

Also ALG sells DDC QD sling swivels if you want to add that to the list.

Strike industries sells rear angled anodized qd sockets.
UTG pro makes some that are just straight up like normal but they are fde cerakoted and not anodized.

Any more?

Mentioned something already mentioned. My bad.

Any way we can get this marked to keep it from getting archived and maybe have it added to the FAQs?

Also, True North Concepts sells grip stops in both earth and OD green ano'd colors.

FYI looks like a lot of stuff sold @ allegiant rifle works. Not sure if they will get another order or not.

A lot of their sales probably came from this thread.

Hopefully some more pics get posted soon so we can see how they compare to other tans.

I had two tanodized uppers and a green anodized upper from Rguns.

Sadly, all three were much looser than I'd have liked on all my lowers. I sold them off.
