Here is a short video comparing the Flat Dark Earth offered by Springfield and the Flat Dark Earth offered by Magpul. There are very clost but the Springfield XD is a little darker than the Magpul. Overall they look great side by side.

  • how long is the rail on your AR?

  • @vogagis Do get all the information on my rail just type "Yankee Hill Free Float Quadrail :: Specter Length" in the YouTube search bar and my installation video should be the first one you see. It covers everything from size to weight. Watch that and let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks.

  • One thing i've noticed is people automatically assume that it's Flat Dark Earth when some companies, like Smith and Wesson use a "Dark Earth" which isn't quite as neutral of a brown as the "Flat" version. The Dark Earth is more of a like soil dirt brown and the FDE is more like exposed dirt brown. And agree with most others when I say the Grip tape on the pmag is nice

  • @CamaroTech25 Yeah I just wish companies would get together and agree on an identical color of tan. I like it when all my crap matches up. Now don't get me wrong, I can handle the difference, but it would be nice to have everything look the same. Thanks for the compliments on the grip tape. Sorry for the late late late response. YouTube doesn't notify me of every comment. I just happen to be looking at this video and I saw your comment. Thanks, take care.

  • soak that magpul kit in some hot water and brown rit dye for id say 4 min , and i bet it a perfect match., you can get the dye at your local grocery store., try it on a few xtm halves and see how long u need to soak., im guessing 4 min., try it out., whats a few xtm panels to the HQ :)

  • @MultiSr16 Very true. Here in the headquarters we actually have a lot of extra XTM rail covers but unfortunately they are black. I did some research and it sounds like black is the wrong color to start with, it doesn't absorb and show color well. I'll look around my house and see if I can find some extra FDE stuff to try staining.
