UNSC_WARRIOR Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) I've found a great deal on a M4 with tele stok. The guy has put 150 rounds through it and is selling it with a EOTech 512.A65/1, OD Green 1720 Pelican case and Otis shotgun cleaning kit. He's asking 2500$ CDN. Great deal but there's only one problem : the receiver finish looks blue-grey. Is that normal?

sneakerfreak602 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Could be his flash or maybe the cleaner he used, but no mine doesnt look blue. It is grayish black. Good deal though. Have you seen it in person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen it in person? No. The guy sells it on a forum and it's the only picture he provided. I'll ask him to post more pictures.

GENELEO Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The black anodizing will "fade" to a blue, gray, or even a purple color when exposed to the elements, especially bright sunlight. We used to see the exact same thing on the anodized scope tubes on sniper scopes in Vietnam, some of them turned out with Exactly the same color as shown in your picture.

Duggan Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's almost surely just the flash/picture. If it's really bothering you, ask for another picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRISTLE Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've seen one in person that was the same exact color. When I bought my M1014 they had 2 in stock, one was black the other had the blue finish. I thought it looked pretty cool, but I still ended up buying the black one. So, it's not the camera, that really is the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNSC_WARRIOR Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Asked the seller for more pics/details. He said that it looks all black in person. He recently dropped the price for the whole package to 2000$ CDN (that makes like 1550$ US these times). I'll probably pick that one up.
