When you take a picture set your camera to manual white balance. Shoot at high noon. Set your wb to 5250 kelvin. Save your picture for the web as color profile srgb.

exactly!!! Plus you know if these wars we are currently fighting were located in jugnle areas everyone would be obsessed with OD instead of FDE.

Great looking product - most anodized colors looks to shiney/satin to me.

Re: My new anodized colors

with the range of colors available in anodization i am suprised we dont see more colors offered. look at the AL stuff you see in stores like keychain and bottle openers. id take something in blue myself. dark blue or even bright ass electric blue. but im not quite right
 
Re: My new anodized colors

Axeman, your right about the anodizing, but all the bright colors are type II anodizing, not quite hard enough for our rifles, they are slowly coming out with new stuff for type III.

I know a guy who is doing pink/blue/red/etc... already but its type II.
