    Inspire me. FDE is dead and the grass is always greener on the other side. We need a proper thread for ODG since baby poop brown just isn't sexy.

    Received this back from POF today, needed some work done and a new barrel and took the opportunity to moved it from black to ODG. Still have a few things to add but keeping this one simple and light. Features a Riflespeed gas block and Geissle SSA-E X Lightning bow amongst other mods.



    Build using Geissle upper receiver on a POF P415 lower, both in ODG. The Geissle is anodized while the POF is cerakote. POF really nailed the color. Hardware is all naked titanium just to try something different. CODA carbon hand guard, lots of V-Seven parts, X-Caliber fluted HBAR profile 223 Wylde barrel, Geissle SSA-E X lighting bow trigger.



    P415 12.5" SBR. Yeah, mostly black but lots of ODG accessories.

    Upgrade to a Primary Arms Prism sight since this photo. BTW, 300BK

    18" Criterion Barreled, since this photo, I have swapped to a 1-8 LPVO... and the bag rider was removed after accuracy testing.

    Was grabbing one of these out of the safe, and remembered this thread…. Most recent family photo; all 3 chambered in 6.8 SPC-2:

    The bottom one is currently undergoing yet another configuration change… Finally found an ODG Unity riser for the Eotech (OTW), and also have some new guts/pins enroute for the now re-stripped lower..
     
    Is this thread where all the boomers go after they finish shopping for their new balances and jean shorts and chanting the oil themselves in their corvettes?

    Cleaning the MAF, and redoing some track tire trailer wiring in the back of the Porsche, but yeah, pretty much…

    …though I did change the oil in my truck yesterday. No pics of the oil, but the catch can was full of sludge, and pretty disgusting as usual:

    …in keeping with the spirit of this thread, if you look closely there’s some ODG (coolant?) in the sludge that came out of the catch can:

    Tomorrow’s project:

    …and yes, those bolts will work on my Ford 9.75” rear diff. 😆
     
    Let’s get this one back on track… Re-barreled one of my 6.8 guns back to 5.56, and got it a new matching sling to boot!

    As an aside, did anyone here grab one of those limited run ODG anodized NF scopes with matching scope mount that EuroOptic was selling a few months ago? I passed on one at the time as I was in the middle of my second retirement while also trying to finish my shop build, and wanted to ensure we’d be gtg on the finances.

    Now that things have settled down, I’m back in the market but they’re nowhere to be found.

    One of these:

    Wow.. I’m building my girl a 14.5” AR and was going to go with the traditional Geissele MK4 DDC rail and try to match that, but these are seriously incredible looking!
    I missed the mark on my attempt at an OD greenish build, but it looks cool in full sunlight. No where near as cool as these green anodized components. I know… it looks black in every pic I have of it.

    Is that paint or Cerakote?

    I've had several parts stripped and re-anodized ODG by a local(ish) company…only an hour drive each way! LoL

    Like this upper and hand guard I had done for my daughter:

    …and my preferred laser engraver is just down the road from the anodizer, so I got them to do a little UNT Eagle on there for her too.

    Go Green!
