    Silly silly question about cans

    So I bought this FDE AR, factory FDE. I have a bunch of cans, but none FDE. Does anyone regret getting an FDE can because the carbon looks like shit after your first shooting.

    I mean who really gives a shit, but I still don't want to regret $1,000 plus purchase.

    A black can never looks bad so...

    Rattle can a black one and see what happens.
    I have a FDE end cap on a black SiCo can and it really hasn't changed appearance that much. It has some burned on, discolored stain from shooting a bunch of lube down the barrel but it's a dark brown color...

    You can refinish it if it bothers you that much.

    Omega FDE



    Osprey FDE

    Helps them stay cooler in the desert sun, among other desirable features. Haven't notice any problem at all with carbon on the exteriors.

    If I run red dots probably not. If I put my Burris 1-8 w/RDS I WOULD. It largely negates color choice.

    Regardless I’m FDE, that was my plan unless I created civil unrest with the question.
