I am fixing to do my first build and I have heard ok things about the essential arms lowers but I was wondering about the tough coat. Does is affect the color any ? Will it still match the color of a del-ton upper ?

why not just get the regular black anodized one ?

I have the black anodized one and it looks normal. I'm about to pick up another one and I'm thinking about getting the OD Green tough coat. I think it would be kind of cool to have an AR with different, subtle tactical colors in it.

I am planning on getting the regular black but I wanted to see if anyone had any great stuff to say about the tough coat. I have heard of deltons and essential arms colors matching almost perfect but I wasnt sure if that was with the tough coat or the regular black.

I have read and heard that the tough coat isnt that tough. Your results may varry but there is an online store selling Stag lowers for $100 shipped. pm me if you want the adress. Personally I am using a spike lower and an anvil arms lower for my first two builds.
