Favorite AR color scheme?

[DocGKR]

How about painting the rifle so that it best blends into your local area surroundings and then re-spray as needed when conditions change. If it takes more than 5 or 10 minutes, your getting too anal about the whole purpose of coloring the rifle...

Black & Foliage.
I've always been a green fan- not big on FDE (aside frome some very specific firearms/gear), and just couldn't bring myself to spray paint my rifle after saving so long for it (I have a penchant for painting everything and I know I suck).

+1 for black. Ive painted lots of furniture in varying colors in the past and always end up back in black. If I were serious about breaking up the pattern of my rifle, Id get a nice camo pattern hydro dipped.

+1 for black. Not a fan of the "black receivers with colored furniture" trend. To my way of thinking, if you want a FDE gun, buy FDE furniture and mags and paint the black parts FDE, or buy anything and paint everything the same color/camo. Black and Tan belongs in a beer glass, not on an AR...

Sure I picked colors I like, but I didn't start a poll or a thread just about which is a favorite. How does color choice affect rifle performance? I know somebody who built his wife an AR carbine using pink furniture but it shoots the same as the other carbines. I heard her agency gave her the go ahead to carry in on duty once she qualifies with it. If this were a site dedicated to Cowboy Action shooting, I can see having a casual conversation about what rifle matches what outfit or if walnut or beech is better for a Winchester 74.

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men" but this thread should have been in GD

Really buddy? Did i even hint that it had anything to do with rifle performance? As i said before i simply wanted to know what other members liked, it's that simple. ? I am sorry if i broke some sort of forum etiquette, and ruffled your feathers. From this point on i will check with you before posting to make sure you approve.

The ironic thing is i chose to join this forum because i heard the other AR forums were full of snotty, wise asses. Go figure, there everywhere.

To all the other members who took the time to answer my question/poll i thank you for your honest input.

Most of my toys wear my rattle can camo

Black the way the its creator intended them to be!

My Colt is still all black, but my latest build is Black/FDE. I figured FDE is a bit closer to all the dead plants here in Central Texas.

You rattle-canned that pretty Custom Carry yet Mr. Hardcore?

No but about half the finish is worn off from a season of kydex!

Black with FG furniture. I bought my rail ladders, stock, grip, light mount, and VFG in foliage green. After installing all of that there really isn't that much of a contrast. I have a SBR on the way and so far I just don't see myself rattle canning it. If I do anything it will be to have it dipped.
