Cavalry Arms Dark Earth -- Anything match it?

[ArmedBear]

I just ordered a full set of DE carbine furniture from Cavalry Arms. Figured I'd send some random business their way, under the circumstances.

They said that their DE doesn't match the Magpul Flat Dark Earth.

I forgot to ask what it does match...

Anyone know?

Duracoat makes their product in Magpul DE, if you need the stock done we can take care of it for you. We prep the furniture with acetone and xylene to soften the surface of the plastic slightly before applying the Duracoat, it lets the finish bond much more strongly to the stock. Its a pretty easy job.

Here's the link to Lauer's page with the Magpul DE

I have a Magpul CTR and MIAD in FDE and a Cav Arms handguard in FDE. They may not be exactly the same, but they're pretty darn close.

HTH,

The Cav Arms color that most closely matches FDE is their Coyote Brown. Here's a set of Coyote Brown furniture, next to Magpul's FDE Pmag and MIAD.

Interesting. Their Coyote Brown seems a bit darker than some of the others. Come to think of it, I think Hogue has stuff called "Coyote Sand".

Hmmm.... I just want to make sure I can get rail covers that are similar. Mixing and matching wouldn't hurt either. Maybe I should call up and change my order to Coyote Brown.

Mainly, I wanted to support Cavalry Arms, and I wanted something that wouldn't burn my face in the sun, but some Coyote colored furniture looks almost white to me. Theirs doesn't really.
