    I call it Slap yo momma brown! Ha! Ok, ok it's not a real magpul color, I decided to dye one of my FDE Ar15s to a dark brown color. It turned out pretty darn good if I say so myself! Boom!

    Reminds me of my High school car. - Poop brown Mercury Capri with a 4 cylinder Pinto engine. - I loved that car.

    The color looks good. Kinda different. Does the dye only take to plastic / composite?

    I like it. Works much better than FDE for the area. Got instructions on how you did it?

    I do not have exact instructions, but it i took a pot of water large, enough to put everything you are going to be dying. I brought the water to almost a boil, added the RIT Dark Brown dye from walmart (I did about half of the bottle but I used a large pot. It looks black but do not be alarmed. Remove it from the heat, drop whatever your dying into it for to 4 minutes. remove and dry.

    I always test the color with a cover plate from a mag first before I dye anything to make sure its the color I want. If its to dark take it out earlier. if its to light leave it in longer... Hope this helps!
