    Type III Hard Anodizing Source

    I have a stripped AR receiver that's old, scratched, marred, etc., and wanted to have it chemically stripped and re-anodized. Does anyone have a firearm friendly source to have this done in SoCal?

              Chemically stripping the old ano will most likely change the tolerances of the lower. Best bet is to Molly Resin the lower to match the upper. They may be able to strip after masking but Ive always been told it will change the dimension significantly.

                Just looked at the prices for the anodizer above. By their price sheet your looking at $230 without masking charges. Unless that lower has significant meaning to you, you would save a ton of cash by just buying a new one.

                  Bummer, I know a guy near me who anodizes, but it is quite a ways from LA (about 2 hours.)

                      Someone's only charging $25 for Type III anodizing?

                        If I'm not mistaken, you lose .0001-.0030, depending on the original build-up.

                          Not opposed to shipping and allowing someone to "borrow" my stripped lower.

                            he waits till he gets enough to get a batch deal. its worth the wait.
                            Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
                            I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.
