The Gold Standard for Retro Builds
If you’re building a clone or a "COTS" inspired rifle, you know that modern black anodizing just doesn't look right. Bad Attitude Department has solved that problem perfectly with this receiver. The vintage grey finish is spot-on—it captures that elusive 1980s/90s military hue that looks authentic right out of the box. While the aesthetics are old-school, the machining is top-tier; the tolerances are tight, and the fitment with my upper was seamless. Pros: -Authentic Color: The best "XM Grey" style finish currently on the market. -Clean Branding: Doesn't distract from the retro aesthetic. -Precision Fit: Modern reliability with a vintage soul. If you're tired of "close enough" and want your A2 build to look genuinely period-correct, this is the lower to get.
