To have an entire ar15 done around my parts would be around $700ish. That's with you doing the disassembly/assembly. Now there are only a few shops in my area that Cerakote so take that with a grain of salt.
That number was from a couple years ago, that's why I have done all of my own. |

Regardless of the time involved, all of the other applicators I have looked at, charge a lot less than $700 for a complete AR in a single color. Multiple colors are not that much more and camo does not even seem to reach the $700 mark. So that leads me to believe $700 is/was crazy.. |

Just him and his wife, he does good work and used to be a police armorer before going on his own. They're good people and his prices are near unbeatable. Turn around can be a little slow though. |

I know it's a bit of an old thread but I just sent a lower off to MSG Limited in Ohio. I found him on ebay. Does lowers for 34 shipped with plenty of good feedback although communication could be a little better. Mine just got to him yesterday so I'm hoping it'll be back in my hand early next week if I'm lucky! Has anybody else used him?

I haven't come across anything negative yet so I have high hopes. Have some more work for him to do if it goes smoothly but I figured I'd start off with a cheap lower first. Will report back once I get it back in hand. |

Thanks for the replies and info folks. Seeing as my rifle is a frankinbuild, I'll most likely DIY it. As it will never really be worth what I have in it, I might as well learn a new skill along the way.
Besides, after winning a LaRge barrel, I have another build to spend money on. So, saving some green on finishing this one is a must. In fact, I may decide to leave it black. Or rattle can it. Not sure yet. Thanks again! |
