I think the pics make it look a little lighter but I shot the barrel and new Matrix rail with Alumahyde Magpul FDE. It is just a little lighter in person, I think the light (and the fact that it’s not plastic or textured like plastic) makes it appear lighter too. However, I’m pretty happy with it. Needs a little more cure time and then the fun part, sighting in my new SWFA 10x42 SS.
