M16A1 build, need a barrel and lower finish options

[Cofaler]

Got my kit from Apex.

Anyone have any experience with the 20" pencil barrels out there?

Also, looking for someone who can anodize or maybe cerekote my 'in the white' lower to match the grey of my Colt upper.

Pictures of your parts from Apex?

I'll take a stab at it tomorrow. A2 buttstocks in descent shape and the handguards are good, no missing teeth or cracks. Pretty good amount of wear on the upper that I want to try and match on the lower.

I just finished an A1 build using this barrel:

I've been very happy with it, but it's showing out of stock now.

Went with an A2 upper cause as a lefty I need the brass deflector, and I like having the A2 rear sight.

You aren't going to cerakote to match an existing finish. You get to cerakote the whole deal
