A lower is a lower, it's not an sbr unless an upper is installed. You can send it off whenever you want, registered sbr or not to get anodized. The only issue you could have is if the lower is damaged, anodizing goes wrong, the engraver fucks something up or the like. You'd end up having to refile and wait forever for the refund. Also, make sure you know 100% the makers engraving is going to be acceptable (i.e. no abbreviations on name or trust, etc.). That's all I can think of off the top of my head that might be a problem filing before the lower is complete. ETA: I actually purposefully waited to do my maker's engraving until I had the approved F1. I wanted to see if they'd allow me to get away with an abbreviation on my name (which, technically, the law states something like "any standard abbreviation" or something similar). Glad I waited, cause my examiner gave the stipulation I needed to use first, middle and last name. Luckily, I don't need to send my lowers off for engraving. There is a local guy who is very reasonable and I can just walk in and have it done in about 15 mins. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tnbigdawg: Reposting these pics for reference. Here's the Frontier anodizing on my lower made from 80%, with Colt upper. Frontier's anodizing is more reflective and textured than Colt's but it doesn't bother me. https://i.imgur.com/zjP1Ov8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ktQ22ZM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VyDCVMZ.jpg I made sure I had completed the receiver successfully, and had it in hand back from anodizing, before doing the F1 in case something went wrong during the process. So basically it started out as a pistol and gone through the safety/function checks before doing the F1 to make it into an SBR. @tnbigdawg |

Almost got a jig and all that, but after researching it all, I just decided I'd be happy with Colt lowers without perfect markings :\. I'll still probably get a 2018 SOCOM lower for the CQBR, but I'd need to free up some funds for that. I wanted to get at least one E-Form in now while the gettin's good. ETA: Fancy! |

I'll probably also keep the barrel and get it chopped for a replacement for the Block II. So, I guess I'll have a Colt barrel once the DD is shot out :\. |

Yeah, if he messes up during the early stages before the lower has left his possession, it's not necessarily a big deal. We'll call it "before the unique serial has been applied."

At that point, the unique serial would be in the bound book of the FFL doing the anodizing; it's going to be highly questionable if you send in another with the exact same serial in the raw for anodizing (i.e. don't do this, lol).

And for those running ta01nsn or ta31 or any 4x32 Acog, I highly recommend the Kram. Not only raises the Acog, it puts it right where you want it for optimal eye relief.
 I went off the deep end and did a g-rail build (mk8). 10.3" barrel, unity tactical mount and flip up. Fits more in the sbr thread, but I've seen enough g-rails here to justify the post.

Dat shit must be at the bottom of the ocean Well, if it makes you feel any better, the tracking on the package I sent to Guam didn't give an estimate of arrival at all. Just sorta stopped being tracked after it left some processing center in Chicago I think. Lemme check how long it took to arrive. ETA: I dropped it off Oct. 18th, and it arrived Oct. 30th. Tracking showed it from me to a processing center in Chicago, one "in transit" update on the 24th and then nothing until it arrived the 30th. Just dawned on me it might actually not make you feel better knowing it could still arrive, lol. |

In all, it's probably better to have a complete lower in your hands before filing... just to be safe. Chances are, everything would go fine; but, it could be a pain in the ass if they don't. Is under the trigger a good place for sbr info? ETA: Then I collected my lower, hoisted my penis back into the wheelbarrow and left. best response ever. So that Guam Raptor is still nowhere to be seen. Tracking said it should be here Tue, then Wed, then Thur and its just said coming later than expected since Wed. No location data
Dat shit must be at the bottom of the ocean Well, if it makes you feel any better, the tracking on the package I sent to Guam didn't give an estimate of arrival at all. Just sorta stopped being tracked after it left some processing center in Chicago I think. Lemme check how long it took to arrive. ETA: I dropped it off Oct. 18th, and it arrived Oct. 30th. Tracking showed it from me to a processing center in Chicago, one "in transit" update on the 24th and then nothing until it arrived the 30th. Just dawned on me it might actually not make you feel better knowing it could still arrive, lol. And, yeah... Raptors are awesome. Wish the SD did a little better job negating gas-to-the-face when suppressed and I'd be using it. Maybe I'll stop being lazy and try an RTV job on it. For me its not so much NiB itself that I dislike, its my experience with it. I had bought a nickel boron BCG that didn't even fit in an upper because they didn't account for the thickness NiB adds to the part. I had to force fit it and it was pretty gay.
Other than that its alright. Adds some lubricity for a bit, then wears away as if it was never there at all. 
Fucking fads.

That would be awesome to have. And if I did get one, that means I would have to buy another Colt receiver and BCG. Because yes. |

Messed around a little with doing a white background. Saw a big sheet of posterboard for $3.99 at Office Max the other day and figured why not. It's not as clear as it should be because the lighting was terrible (I took this outside in fading afternoon light).

Yes, the right lighting makes a huge difference, but you'll give yourself a head start by getting that rifle up and off of the posterboard. Balancing it on an object placed in between the gun and the posterboard will help eliminate so much shadowing and avoids the natural lean of the rifle when it's otherwise set on a flat surface. An RX bottle or something similar in diameter placed at the gun's balancing point will work fine. It hides behind the rifle and the result is you get a nicer looking shot. Us iPhone gun pic takers gotta work on the cheap, ya know? Some examples... https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1972/43597570690_b714f1713b_c.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1956/30360710997_8ac73b9105_c.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1921/44951509381_fe511b8776_c.jpg Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZ_SBR:

You can see it's slightly hovering from this angle. This is my 4 prong after about an hour of brass brush scrubbing and scraping with a brass scraper :\.

Gotta worry about baffle erosion and SF4P erosion now. An OCD man's nightmare! Actually only cleaned it because it was still sticking a bit to the can. Last time the same amount of cleaning got it looking new, this time it must have gotten significantly hotter, lol. Shit was baked on ra-dicalus. I'd probably have to soak it in solvent overnight to break loose the stuff between the tines. |
