New Daniel Defense Omega 7 in FDE!

[C4IGrant]

Just got the new DD Omega 7 in the "Crane FDE." The color looks good to me. To show some differences between the different colors of "FDE", I put a Troy rail and a Magpul PMAG next too it.

Wow, that's really dark, at least on my monitor here at work (not the best color). If you'd have posted that without a note I'd probably have assumed it was just weird lighting on a normal rail.

I like it though.

They really took the "D" in "FDE" seriously.

I like the color as well. I often think that the standard FDE is WAY too light.

For you, it is an extra $100. :D

That's a steal!!

Why didn't Crane have the new SOPMOD stocks match this color? Although the standard FDE may be too light, I thought a light base color was the point for something that was going to get Kryloned all the time anyway:confused:

Nothing yet.
Thanks! Looking forward to it if and when they do.

Grant,
Thanks for posting this info. Very nice. I was wondering when DD would start doing this. I just wish they would make an AR10 version, as well as an AR10 rail, that was exactly like the Mk18 RIS? or whatever that rail is called. gotm4 has one on one of his carbines.
Speaking of gotm4, he's got some sweet pics of his DD Mk18 RIS rail in FDE, and it looks good.

I TOO have ALWAYS wanted a FDE themed rifle, but I TOO have ALWAYS thought these manuf's TOTALLY screwed up when they made such a light colored FDE color!
I wish like hell that there was an industry standard FDE, and I further wish it was somewhere in between the DD FDE, and the standard Magpul FDE.
Wouldn't that be nice?

To this day, I have not yet found my favorite shade of FDE. Anyone know how many shades of FDE exist from the big names in manufacturing?
(Magpul, TD, Gunkote, Cerakote, (there is one other "kote" like Gunkote, that I cannot remember at this very moment), Norrels, Alumahyde, etc, etc.).

How many shades are there?

Their are many shades of FDE. Troy has one, Magpul has one, Tango Down/VLTOR have one and so does DD.

Got an email from Daniel Defense today and was informed that the Rifle Length version of the Omega series will be available "in about three (3) weeks." At least that's the "plan" as I was told.

Anyone hear differently? :)

Does DD make the lite rail in fde?

Kind of. It is under their MK18 rails.
