 Anyone make a coated upper?

I'm going to build an AR, and I'd like to have an upper reciever with a good coating already on it. Not so much for corrosion, as aluminium doesn't rust very well, but more for cleaning, as this will be a filty, dirty, DI rilfe.

But I've not seen one. Brownells doesn't seem to have any upper recievers with a good EXO or such coating, and I've not seen any elsewhere.

Anyone have a lead? Preferably I'd like one in dark flat earth.

Thanks,

You may have to buy the parts first and send them out for work or try to do it yourself. I've been looking myself lately in preparation for a 458 Socom build I am planning. These might be of help. They each do some type of coatings.

Cool man, thank. After my LWRC piston, the only way I can talk myself into going back to DI is to have everything coated to make clean up not take a whole box of Q-tips.
