first of all, does the magpul MIAD in coyote brown match up with the tan on the Vltor modstock, or CASV-EL?

and which of the tangodown colors match up with them? the dark earth, or desert tan?

thanks, cory

Vltor and Tango Downs colors will match as they coop on the material which is colored at the factory. They were kind enough to ask if Magpul would like to join in on this coop but we use different materials than they do.

The latest tan is the SOCOM Flat Dark earth which Vltor and TD have gone to. We are moving or Coyote Brown items to this color now and the next MIAD run will be in Flat Dark Earth next week. Some items like the PRS is only availible in Flat Dark Earth.

On OD green, ours matches Armalite and Cav Arms but we are looking into switching to the new Ranger Green spec'ed by the Army. I have heard Vltor and TD are going to this color too.

So the new CTR stock in FDE won't match an old MIAD grip in CB?
And will the DS on a GD match the OFD on a EH without the old RET on MK?

I'm pretty pissed to hear this! I just ordered Magpul tan ladder rail protectors and MIAD grip in the tan. Tracking shows it should deliver tomorrow. The intention was to put my current black 93B on another rifle and then buy one of the new stocks in the tan for this one. Now I find out it won't match?!!! It seems awfully silly to me to be changing colors on a whim, not to mention, expensive!

Uhh... its what their biggest customer wants. When .mil says that they want this color, you are probably going to make it if you want any of their money.

First of all Coyote Brown and Flat Dark Earth are very close to each other Coyote Brown has a hint more orange anf FDE a hint more gray. If we don't lable the boxes we get them mixed up.

Coyote Brown has been our standard tan color for over two years and the switch to FDE is due to military specifications like we received for the PRS.

Remember you can always switch out you items for a different color within the first 60 days of purchese. I have always said "no questions asked" this includes if you just don't like the color or we have released something new.

My dark earth TangoDown panels and VFG are pretty close to my tan Vltor CAR club foot Modstock but my coyote brown MIAD grip is a little darker than TD and Vltor and it's noticeable.

No, you obviously didn't see the poor guy in Italy who ordered 4 ladder rail covers and got 4 knockoffs in hard resin. Rich exchanged them for him. THAT'S customer service!!

Can we still send in old pre-production MIAD grip bodies and backstraps? What if we *accidentally* duracoated a set to match our rifle?

Per production MIADs can be exchanged for $6 per grip which includes shipping within CONUS and a lable to ship the old grip back to us. Upgrade includes all new body unit and new front / rear straps. We don't care if the old grip is painted or not.

Sounds like I need to count up by grip bodies and pay you $6 each and you will ship me new ones with labels for shipping the old back? I would think I need to ship them back first, no?

I have a FDE upper colored by Gun Kote and tan Ladder rail covers and MIAD. I personally cannot tell the difference. Hell, I thought they were FDE!

I exchanged a pre-production MIAD grip during the last holidays and this is what I did.

Call Magpul at 1-877-4-MAGPUL so you could exchange info and pay with CC.

Magpul will ship the new production grip with a FEDEX return lable.

Your old core (center piece that holds 3 cartriges) doesn't have to be shipped back.

Ship your old grip and all front and rear straps in the same box and attach lable and drop in a post office or any FEDEX office.

We will ship the new grips first so your guns are now down. The lable is for shipping the old grips back to us.

BTW: If we don't get the old grips back we charge you extra for new grips but that has never happened yet.

[#18]

So I'll pay $6 once or 4 times?

$6 per grip you wish to upgrade.

I think I'll go to your website and order soon.

I take it I can reorder them in whichever color I choose now or no? You seem to be bending over backwards to please everyone these days and I was wondering if that was part of the deal. I don't want any handouts so if this wasn't your original intention, don't start now.

Thanks,

Joe

I'll have to count my grips tonight...

I have so many parts my head spins when I open my parts box. Am I returning all parts in the basic kit or the full kit?

I need to make sure I can account for one of each part for each grip I intend to return and not screw myself because I may have lost one along the way. I do have an F4 in two pieces right now.

Does Magpul Maid in CB match in color to the Magpul Rail Protectors in CB?

Does anyone have Pics of CB Maid and RP's on a rifle?
Thanks
