Who does Type III other than US Anodizing? They've got a message on their homepage saying they aren't taking non-contract work at the moment. It was posted in early July, so I don't know how much longer that is in effect for. I sent them and email to see what they say, but I want to get some other options if they can't do it.

A handful, but not a lot that will do low volume/1 offs. PM me and I can probably find you a business that is cheaper than US Ano and specializes in anodizing |

I just assumed it was.

Thanks for the pics, the wilcox looks a little higher for sure. Ill just choose which BUIS after i get the M2. I would definitely want the lower 1/3 if i was using the LMT sight but i also would rather not spend extra money on a wilcox mount.

I notice in most of the pics of operators in this thread they appear to have only 3 mags on their vest/chest rig. What is the standard load out for SF guys? I know if you look at the US Army "rifleman" kit for the FLC it holds like 10 or 12 mag iirc. So I was kinda surprised to see that most of the pics in this thread show guys carrying so few mags.

Have any issued M4 lowers ever had this forge mark? Trying to decide if I should knock it off before I send it off for ano or not. I don't remember seeing any during my time in, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be.

Dangerdan pointed me in another direction and they sound promising. I'm shooting (no pun intended) for some time this week to get it mailed off. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell:

Hey let me know what they say if you don't mind. Today I got a box, packing material, and was about to get a money order when I went to their page to get their address and saw that same notice. I was hoping to send a box to them tomorrow (Friday) but I guess that probably won't happen now.
ETA: Nevermind, they updated that message with the current date. Your email must have initiated the change, SS. Guess I'll have to find an alternative or wait until USA starts taking orders again. He told me to check back 1 OCT.

Let us (me  ) know how the other place goes. If it turns out alright I'll bug you for the details; if not, I'll wait until October.

I have filed all mine off on my clones. It's no biggie. But if you're OCD like myself...it will bug the shit out of you!

I notice in most of the pics of operators in this thread they appear to have only 3 mags on their vest/chest rig. What is the standard load out for SF guys? I know if you look at the US Army "rifleman" kit for the FLC it holds like 10 or 12 mag iirc. So I was kinda surprised to see that most of the pics in this thread show guys carrying so few mags. With respect to the currently ongoing major conflict (Afghanistan) back in the day, our theory was to go light...there was always a COP, VSP, etc. to which we could evade or somewhere we could hold until air support (lift) could get to us. Now that that's no longer the case (no COPs and very little air) there's no where to run...we carry as much as we can. |

I hadn't either, but I've been out for a little over 3 years now so I just wanted to make sure. I'll file that little fucker off of there this week. |
