Hey guys,
I posted something about this in the INGO build thread, but I figured I may gain a little more traction in its own thread. I just completed my INGO build with a gray ALG EMR handguard and Magpul Stealth Gray stock and grip. Turns out that the Magpul gray is way darker than their site makes it look, so now I think I'm going to go with a different manufacturer to get a little better color match. It obviously doesn't have to be perfect, but the Magpul gray is pretty far off.
I've driven myself crazy searching sites, google, forums, etc. for pictures of multiple grays together and trying to compare them with the gray of the ALG hand guard, but I haven't been able to convince myself one way or the other. I've been looking at BCM Gunfighter, B5, and MFT gray furniture. I'm currently leaning toward MFT, but I'm not convinced 100%. I did find one picture of what *I think* is a gray ALG hand guard and MFT gray, and it looks pretty decent, but it's in such bright sunlight that I can't convince myself that it's not just washed out or the hand guard is lighter color than mine.
So if anyone happens to have any gray furniture and/or gray ALG hand guard, I'd much appreciate your input, pictures, etc. because I'm driving myself to insanity.
Cue the "AR diva" comments...
Maybe I should just forget it, throw my rifle on the ground, and stomp on it, and hope there are no truck tires in the vicinity so everyone won't think I'm an AR diva.
My build...
The one pic I could find on the web with MFT and what I presume is a gray ALG hand guard...
