Due to the economy and the necessity of having to follow the jobs wherever they go, I have had to relocate to Mesquite, Nevada from Florida. I have two complete AR15 rifles: One is 5.56mm the other is 6.8mm SPC. Both have OD Green furniture.
From what I can tell, OD Green isn't so bad in the desert. In fact, a lot of the plant life is very close to that color. This brings me to the dilema; My third and final (yeah right) rifle's furniture color.
For you men who live in the desert, what do you think of OD Green vs. FDE? I know I can mix and match XTM panel colors... and I already do that. Just wondering about the stock and grip. Already have two UBR stocks in OD Green. Thought about getting an FDE UBR and mixing the parts around with an OD UBR. Even a little of Larue's UDE might work well.
In most pictures I see, the FDE looks real light colored. I have seen a darker brown (coyote?) but magpul doesn't offer it. Also, for you men in Utah, wouldn't it be great to have Utah red parts too?
So, OD vs. FDE... what would you do? Can you show me examples? Apparently I am not allowed to post pics here so have not done so. Every time I try it says I am not authorised.
Thanks!
