I also vote for Norrells

Once you finish your machining, its best to anodize the lower, but its not required. Anodizing is actually a good surface to paint on if you want to do that later. Not difficult nor expensive to set up your own home anodizing apparatus; do a google search on "Caswell Plating" and check over at www.roderuscustom.tzo.com |
I am sending them 2 sigs P228 and P220SAO and one ar, from what I have heard they do some of the best. |
| If you are machining the lower yourself, you really want to make sure it is anodized. If you are assembling a lower that is already finished, but you want to change the color or go over it for a more even finish, I would use Norrells. The thermal cures are a more durable finish, and more forgiving in their application than the epoxy finishes like DC. |

Thanks guys for the responses, they are greatly appriciated! I will post some pics as soon as I am finished. As I said before this is my first build, I bought the grendal 6.5 upper, a lmt sopmod stock, RRA lower parts kit, and an essential arms lower. Just wondering what everyones opinion might be on these parts. Thanks agian! |
IIRC, that is their exclusive finish. NP3 and Roguard, which I believe is an epoxy type finish. I have never considered it due to expense, but I will probably have my P7 NP3'd. I bought it to shoot and want it to last. |
Call me weird but ud have a hell of a good grip and it could take some abuse:) plus it would look really unique.
| I have used Duracoat for nearly all my builds and it is great. the only thing is once it cures it is pretty hard and works as a glue if you don't take things apart first. I have gotten into the habit of giving all the parts a light coat after demilling them. This helps ensure those metal to metal part contacts don't harbor rusting or corrosion that you can't get at once the rifle is assembled. Whether you decide to bake it or give it the time necessary to cure once it has done so it is absolutely beautiful and very durable. Applying it with an airbrush ensures you probably won't mess it up like you would if it were an aerosol. Email me if you want to see various pictures (I wish I could afford to pay for a membership but can't seem to find it in my limited budget. |
