Can someone tell me what Vertical Grips match the Magpul FDE color? I'm looking at either a LaRue, Troy, or Tango Down but would like the colors to match so I'm open to some other suggestions.

Tango Down matches very well. I find that Larue's FDE has too much red/yellow in it and looks a bit like a banana.

Whew! I'm glad I went with the Tango Down instead of the FUG (was attracted to the 3 lengths in one package). Should be getting it soon :)

Well it looks like a TD grip. So here's the next question, should I get the QD or standard. It will be mounted on a YHM Lightweight Rail.

I've heard the standard is hard to attach and sometimes wobble.

I too was looking at the LaRue and the Troy because of the "all-n-1" options.

If you go with the TD QD grip you shouldn't have to worry about rail fit.

Not really, with some minor practice the standard grip goes on easy.

Mine don't wobble, if they do you have to be really cranking it hard to get any movement out of it, and if so it's a mm side to side. I hope people aren't THAT anal.

Magpul FDE & foliage with LT FUG. The LT definitely stands out like the proverbial sore thumb.

Had the larue not looked so "salmon" in coloring I would have easily used it on my SR-15. But the color did start annoying me, that and I traded it for a KAC handstop.
