Does an upper need to be moly-coated on the inside? To my understanding this is part of mil-spec.

I purchased a Mega upper & it is not moly coated on the inside.

Any drawbacks to not having moly-coating in the upper?

The fit & finish is great, but I am curious about this.

-Thanks

DO YOU MEAN THE ANODIZING OR TEFLON COATING? IS IT BARE ALUMINUM.

No, Mega does not dry lube the inside of their uppers.

It does not have the mil-spec gray moly-coating on the inside of the upper receiver.

It's just black.

Any issues to this? Is the dry moly coating better?

Is there a way to do this myself? Is it worth it?

It aids reliability during your fisrt 200 rounds of break in and then is worn away in the spots that it wears.  Then it looks like ass and you cant ever get it to all come off with gun scrubber and if you use gun scrubber it looks like super ass.  If you have already fired 200 rounds you will derive no benefit from having dry lube in your upper.  I prefer it to NOT be there for cosmetic reasons as I could care less about the relibality of my rifle during its 200 round break in.  Additionally Mega uses a teflon impregnated anodisation which is much slicker than normal anodisation so I doubt you will have an issue.  If I had a choice of regualranodisation and dry lube inside or tenflon anodisation Id pick teflon anodisation every time.
