Any experiences w/ Southern California Plating?

[Don91722]

I want to refinish (re-anodize) couple of my AR receivers due to years of usage, and I found Southern California Plating (http://socalplating.com) in San Diego.
Has anyone dealt with them before? If so, how was the experience? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, so I know what I'm getting myself into.
Thanks!

Yep We had two of ours done there. Little bit of a lead time but good price and and quick service overall.

Will most defiantly use them again

The hard anodize was perfect.

Are they a FFL???

If you are shipping / dropping off receivers to them and they have no FFL both you and them are gonna be breaking Federal and California laws.

If you plan to stand there while they do the work then it is legal, but i doubt they gonna be that fast.

ANY other parts can be done but receivers and frames are the actual firearm and can only be shipped / dropped off to a FFL to be worked on.

There is a new shop opening up in San Diego that is doing bluing and plating but do not know if they doing anodizing, but you can ask them www.gunsmithdan.com

SoCal Platting is good to go. Had a couple things done there and the work was great, they media blast prior to anodizing.
