I’m looking for the Greenish colored lower parts kits for a AR like what the Armalite or Colt ARs come with. I’ve looked online and even the Colt and Armalite LPKs don’t look like they are the greenish ones they use on their actual guns. Does anyone know what brand LPK or a part number for the Greenish LPK?

The greenish color could be due to the type of lubricant/preservative used on the parts. Certain types of oils in combination with parkerizing can give a greenish appearance to the metal parts over time.

Are you talking about parkerized? To match an A1 or SP1? The trick used to be, get a LPK and take the paint off with naval jelly, leaving the parkerizing beneath. I have done this a couple times.
