Is there a 'tan' textured, spray paint coating on your upper and lower receiver, barrel, and front sight post?

@siguser17 There is tan paint on the upper/lower, barrel, and receivers. There is also textured gray paint on the receivers only, the color of which is hidden underneath the tan paint. This is something I tried on another rifle years ago and found to be not all that bad, so I painted this one in a similar manner.

Can you do a comparison between the C4 rail and the Daniel Defense AR-15 LITE 12.0 FSPM Mid-Length Rail? To the best of my knowledge, the FSPM is the only cut-out rail for a mid-length with a FSB besides the C4. I plan on putting one of the two on my BCM middy.

@JacksCZ452 Right now I have 4 other rails to review, each one takes a long time, I do not plan on any more in the near future. I will say that both are good quality rails - the Lite might be a little lighter than the C4, but the C4 will be lighter after I add a sling swivel attachment to the Lite rail, which does not have QD sockets. The Lite also requires specialized tools for installation, and the removal of the front sight base and muzzle device.

I'm between this and the daniel defense omega 9. I figured I'd try to get your opinion on this since most of the purchases I've made have been thanks to your informational videos. Do you have any experience with the DD Omega 9? Any input would be greatly apprecitated.

Great review. I'm planning to use this rail on my current buildd and your video was very helpful.

Awesome video...3:58 minutes in length with 3.58 minutes worth of information. Unlike some other reviewers that post 30 minute long videos that can be done in two minutes.

i know you have been asked a few times on your paint but what brand of paint did you use on

this AR, it looks amazing, awesome video ........also have you ever played with the troy trx rail looking to buy one what do you think

I would really like to see a photo reel of this rail on that run on the blog. It's not like other rails, and there's not as many photos of it in action as there could be. Plus, that rifle looks really weird with that strange paint on it.

[JacksCZ452]

@VuurwapenBlog Thanks! I'll probably go with the C4 then. I realize it's also not as expensive as the Lite.

@clap5 I have not seen one of those, it sure has an impressive name though.
