I need a complete lower anodized after I get it engraved and drilled. Anyone know of someone who does this kind of work? I found a guy on the EE who will do an 80% lower for $35 but I can't have the trigger or hammer pins drilled.
I have thought about other methods but I like the hardness of the anodizing. |

Quoted:
I have certainly considered doing it myself. In the end though, I would spend about $500 on equipment and materials to anodize one part. Not to mention I don't have a shop or someplace to safely set all the equipment up. I anodized my own lower with parts that can get at hardware store for under $50 Don't need much room |

Granted none of this is Mil Spec Type III hard anodize but it is workable. |

The kit that AFSOC listed is one of the ones I was looking at. Even that doesn't include the power supply, acid, or the dye. |

No idea why. |
