I bought a AR15 blemished billet lower awhile back and now I want to get it re-anodized. Anyone know a place that does black hard anodizing?

Found a few places:
SO CAL: http://techplate.com/index.htm
NOR CAL (Don't know if they do firearm stuff): http://www.pkselective.com/

Just keep in mind that the current anodizing will need to be blasted off before the piece can be anodized again, changing the dimensions.Please read the Calguns Wiki
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

I would suggest living with the scratches. The dimensions on the lower will change when they strip the ano off and the results may be undesirable. If u must replate it, I would suggest trchplate, they have lots of experience with AR type rifles.Comment

Also leaving the serialized part with a non FFL is also illegal, unless you're going to stand there while the do it.sigpic

You can always go the gunkote route..I had a lower that was rather scratched up..Got some gunkote from brownells ( I believe) left the pins in so the dimensions wouldnt get screwed up, and it actually came out beautifully! And its something you can do at home.Embrace the suck.

If/When you start using it, like you should, it will get some scratches on it anyway. Why worry.Luck favors the prepared.
