Stripped upper in magpul FDE

[Dan 177]

I'm looking for a stripped upper done in mapgul FDE cerakote. I've found some "desert" FDE ones out there, but so far have been unable to find any for sale in Magpul FDE. Does anyone know of a source out there?

 

I figure buying it pre-made would be less expensive and less hassle then buying a black one and sending it out to get coated. I could be wrong, I'm open to suggestions either way.

it may be worth reaching out to a company like Aero Precision to see if any of thir tan receivers match magpul colors

Yea I did try that, apparently Aero's "desert" FDE is not the same hue as Magpul FDE. I saw rifles with the combo and it isn't too flattering IMO.

 

I may have to just suck it up and buy a black upper and either rattle can it or send it out to be coated. I think I remember seeing a marketplace vendor here that offers cerakoting, I will try them to see what it would take.

Update : I'm going to go with backwoodscoatings.com, a supporting NJGF vendor. Price is right, and Chris stocks the color. We're going to set it up so that I can drop ship the upper from the vendor and he'll mail it to me when its completed. Doesn't get any easier.
