WE can't wait either!!! Do you have an ffl to do completed receivers? Is it hard coat type three anodizing, or something else? I do have a ffl and its hardcoat anodized Type III ?.......as in the good stuff......processed at 28-32 degrees good stuff? When can I send you my xm177e2 engraved lower? I'll admit it.....I need help |

Quoted:
You can experiment on mine if you want! I have a nodak partial fence engraved lower that needs to be finished. Worst case I'll spray it with norrels! From the look of the pics, there is no "worst case ". 
That's something to be proud of, I am a little jealous. Also, too lazy to put the effort into the skill, truth be told. |

I want to show the hue of green and the gray. Any ideas on taking picture with my phone to show colors? It's hard to catch the true colors in a photo, and when (if) you do, the pics look different on all of our monitors/phones, anyway. When I used to anodize parts, what I did that worked pretty well, was put a Sharpie marker along with the part(s) in the picture, for reference. We all know what the black cap and gray body of the marker truly look like and can use that as a general "gauge" to judge the color of the other parts in the picture. John Thomas |

I want to show the hue of green and the gray. Any ideas on taking picture with my phone to show colors? What about taking pics with the "sample" (your anodizing) alongside a known color sample? For instance, one of your anodized lowers alongside a Colt lower of a particular time period. I have an early XM16E1 lower (demilled front half) and a later M16A1 front half (greenish in color). If you don't have any demilled lowers to use I would gladly send my two to you to use for pictures. You can send them back to me on my dime when you ship an anodized lower back. ( HINT HINT  )

Looks nice. So I've been away for a while...is US Anodizing still around? They had an interesting experience recently with a BATFE field agent confiscating lowers with faux sear pins. Coupled with them not taking on any custom work has people looking for other options. I know I am. |

HKILLER,
Given the garbage "finding" by the ATF against having an ENGRAVED faux auto sear pin hole on a lower, does this mean you will no longer even attempt to start anodizing lowers for others if the lowers sent to you have that marking? What about the markings for "AUTO" or "BURST?" Will this now also be precluded as well? |

Looking good. Go buy all those cracked Royal Tiger uppers and get busy.
