I have an AR-10    upper and lower receivers that I wish to refinish before a re-build.  Does anyone know where I can send the receivers for an Aluminum Oxide blast and a hard coat anodized finish.

Am I being too picky?  I will finish coat and bake with K-G Gunkote.  Does that work well on blasted and bare blasted Aluminum, or is the anodizing step needed to prevent oxidation?

Thanks in advance.

Hard coat anodizing hardens the outer surface. I wouldn't own an alluminum receiver without it.

Why do you want them blased and refinished?  I'm pretty sure they left the factory with HCA so you can simply paint over that.
