Has anyone ever purchased an upper \ lower receiver from NoDak Spud and had them perform the Battlefield Pick Up 'effect' on them? Any photos you could share?

I tried Google images but came up empty handed...

Thanks!

I bought a set for my XM177E2 build.










I did this one myself. I was trying to match the wear on the upper.

First was done by NDS, second was my own efforts.

Yes I have and worth the charge.

As a matter of fact, the pictures of the upper and lower BFPU on the Nodak site are my components that Mike "aged"  prior to shipment.

Here's a few pics of that upper/lower in various configurations I've had it in over the years....

In it's current configuration (605 style with my version of green over faux brown bakelite furniture)...

ooops.....ETA:  not done by Nodak


NDS 601 lower distress with Scotchbrite, 0000 steel wool and Mothers mag polish.  The only parts artificially distressed here are the lower and repro sight wheel.
Last pic is same lower on a different upper.

I'm leaning toward having them do the treatment on my lowers I have ordered as well.  Well, whenever they finally get to my order.  Patience is a virtue, thankfully I can only buy a piece a month so makes it easier to wait.  Really looking forward to it
