    Why can't I find RED!?!?

    I've been looking around for a grip and some accessories/furniture to put on a Spikes Tactical ST-15 for awhile now. How come they don't make more accessories in a variety of colors? I only find FDE, OD green, desert. Am I missing something?

    I have been trying to find some red furniture or black/red accessorie to add to the spikes logo. I don't really want a bunch of red but just a few more additions would look nice I think. I can't even find a grip cover in red!!! Whats the deal?

    Any help on this one would be great, thanks!

      I use caliper paint. It's usually epoxy enamel and very high temp and impact resistant.

      All I use it for is filling in the lettering ala spikes style.

        It more than likely wont sell so it is not worth it to make it in that color.

          Magpul FDE stuff can be dyed red using Rite Dye.

            ^^^This.

            Just dye it with RIT. The FDE is light enough that furniture dyed with it will look red, and not some weird brownish red.

            So OP, are you making some furniture for me and my red receivers???

              I need me some red furniture as well.
              Been too busy/lazy to get around to dying my Magpul stuff.

                Wonder if it might have something to do with the bright colors mandated for toys. Could be no manufacturer wants to take a chance on getting sued.

                  No, it's just that there isn't much profit in it. That's all.

                  Cavalry Arms has done many different runs in the past of colored furniture including pink, purple, blue and yellow and others. They currently still product pink, I believe.

                  It really just comes down to the market for non-military colors being very very small.

                          WTF is a grip cover? Do you mean a kydex fin that wraps around the pistol grip?
