This scope is FDE cerakote finished. I have two of them, and it clearly states on Atibal’s website that this limited edition model is cerakoted by Koted Arms.

Correction. The finish is actually a Cerakote MAGPUL FDE. It will match all Magpul FDE furniture perfectly. This a better option than Anodizing as ANO can never get consistent colors from batch to batch and you’ll never get the Matte finish of and or color of FDE perfectly.
