PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

How about these? My new MC Operator has the Armory Kote green. However, it's really hard to catch the real color with a picture for some reason. This is the only one I've taken that looks like what it really looks like.

Very nice shot sk8n3rd!

I myself dug through all 49 pages looking for the green army kote.
Zscorp, do you also want Green-T finish posted?

My Springer GI45: Armory Kote OD Green, Alumagrips...
Here's my SA Armory Kote baby:




While I love the Springer "U.S." checkered wood stocks, I switched to the black Alumagrips for shooting and carry. The Armory Kote, seems so far to be a GREAT finish. Also, when I bought my GI, I didn't realize it would be TWO-TONE: OD green and matte black! I LOVED it when I got it from my FFL... seems to be an EXCELLENT factory finish.

Y'all take care.
Mick

Like Mick's G.I. in OD... this one also has black grip panels... or stocks as you may... these are Hogue's black rubber double diamond checkered... and the Springer is my son's.

You're so right about that...!!!

Take a look at this parkerized Mil-Spec... photographed with primarily available late afternoon sunlight from an open window.

It almost comes off looking "olive drab"!!!

The photo in my immediate prior post is of a G.I. OD taken with fluorescent and some sunlight as a primary illumination...

I had better luck with this Beretta 92FS OD... which is an "olive drab" finish on the slide, much like Springfield's Armory Kote. The frame is an anodized finish.

I'm working with the lighting some... and of course, two different cameras are involved here... one Pentax and the other Fuji... there are differences there also, and plan to retake some photos of the Springer G.I. OD for a more accurate color rendering.
