Goes with your pearls...so yea, still classic good taste...
...Especially apropos for most weddings, funerals, inaugurations, and most of the higher class tailgate parties.

Yep. Needs more carry handle though.

I think a dark green or dark gray is more stealthy but I am too cheap to get my guns painted.

Well you know what they say once you go black

I actually have one that is DFE and I really like that as well.

On a German Shepherd Dog it looks bad azz

I like tan or some of those Mag pul dress up kits they have out are very cool

Black matches my shoes and man bag!!! Know how hard it is to find a pare of nice shoes to match that AR, or AK

 

[Medic!]

Sure it's black these days.

But remember when Colt grey and HK blue were king?

I like look of the AR's that have OD green or tan stocks , grips and hand guards.
But since I no longer own an AR of any color ... Just what do I know?!

Its not hard. Just put camo paint on your guns and wear combat boots. All camo painted guns match those boots.

My preference is a lighter earth color that blends in with your environment - here that's a combination of foliage green and FDE or Coyote Brown. The practical side is that it reflects the sun so doesn't get so hot if you are out and about in it.

Black is easy because everything matches, but it doesn't disappear as well as you would think, not even at night.

Nice looking rifle. Tell us about it. Stock, barrel, hand guard? And everything else?

 

[TapRackNGo]

Not if someone with night vision is looking for you.

 

[Certaindeaf]

I gather you don't want to wear white after labor day.
wtf

 

[Stomper]

Black goes with everything.... and I'd take that to a "New Black Panther Party", party ANYTIME!

 

[WAYNO]

Black goes with anything...

This is my current favorite color scheme - foliage green for the majority with FDE furniture. The rifles later got FDE Troy BUIS:


It isn't about fashion - I like how the lighter color keeps the rifles cooler in the sun and the combo is almost camo helping to break up the outline. Note how in the picture below the black sight almost screams "Hey! Hey! Over here! Look at me!". Also note how there is no absolute black in nature.


It all depends on how you intend to use the rifle.

Optics need painted also.
Looks good.
