A comparison pic:
Geissele Mk 5 in DDC Primary Arms light in FDE RGuns Sand upper Colt FDE buffer tube Magpul STR in FDE  Attached FileThe plan is to rebarrel the black upper with that sand one and get the lower refinished in a semi-matching color. Next up will be a Geissele DDC charging handle and, eventually, and FDE optic in an FDE mount. I'm going for a 50 Shades of FDE rifle. Any suggestions as to which color and/or refinisher to go with for the lower? |

Do any of you know who re-anodized uppers? I have an FN FDE upper that is looking pretty blotchy and I'd like to have it re-anno'd. I'd go with a Geissele upper, but their DDC is a lot browner than FN's greenish tan.

I expected more pics out of this thread considering the current popularity of tanodized parts. Hopefully more guys will post their stuff.
Here's a build of mine from years ago with a few tanodized parts.  Attached File |

Planning to take better pictures. But place holder for now. I was planning on running the lower receiver and upper on a 9.3 MK16. Having it be an all tanodized SBR. But I’ve been sidetracked and haven’t been able to enjoy it assembled since no tax stamp. So I Swapped parts around from my URGI clone that’s P&W. Probably will still end up SBR’ing the lower sooner or later.

Some of the progress on my Tanodized build. It will be a 13.7 pistol with a Rosco Purebred 13.7 inch stainless Barrel. I am waiting for the m4 style upper and ar10 reciever extension from LMT/Allegiant and a tanodized modlite head. I also still need a handguard. It will most likely be a 13 inch DDC MK8 from Geissele if they ever come back in stock (or I find another high quality 13 inch tanodized free float rail)

Cloud Defensive COR rail and OWL in their FDE anodizing. Also an ADM T1 mount in FDE anodizing.The receivers are custom mixed Cerakote. Super neutral and matched in low light and overcast. Both are much more colorful and more 50 shades in sunlight.
  Everyone's tastes are different, but everything I've had in DDC was way too gold. Same reason I don't like the color on the TLR1 but oh well. Long as it functions. |

I have always read that the A5 system is based on and AR10 receiver extension, an ar15 rifle length spring and the proprietary buffer. I do have another build that is using a magpul ar10 RE (advertised as working with ar10 and A5 systems),a Vltor A5H2 buffer weight and have used a no name rifle spring and a G$ super 42 rifle spring. As soon as the ar10 receiver extension shows up, I will try it out. |

Any insight on a tanodized stripped upper (other than RGuns) would be greatly appreciated. I'm half tempted to buy a matt sand unit from RGuns anyway, as there's nothing else I can find.
I don't really need it, but I've found the anno is much easier to clean after a range day. I shoot suppressed only.. Cerakote is too much work. Looks good though. I don't really care what color variation "tan" it is either, as this build is 50 shades already. Form1 stamp should be in the email within the next few weeks..

These vendors offer tanodized buffer tubes (and possibly other parts, if OP wants to audit them). I suspect most of these have the same manufacturer and may be of questionable quality, but can't speak to that from direct experience.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rustyshackleford07: I often wonder about entities like those. Even their model numbers are the same. It's part of what leads me to be curious about the origin of those parts I put them on there. Buyer beware. If anyone has any negative feedback about any of these parts, they can post it here. There's already been at least one negative thing said about RGuns parts. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pezboytate: @MackDaddy1962 Sadly, buying a complete FN rifle is the only way I know of currently to get a tanodized USGI receiver set (other than RGuns). @pezboytate No worries brother. I’m on the Geissele wait list for their upper/lower (unobtanium, I know.) I may give RGuns a try. The Cerakote lower is no big deal, but anodized uppers clean up much easier when suppressed. I’m being a whiny little bitch here, I know... Rock on, great thread. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tejas1836: Be careful with Rguns however. The receiver extensions that I received threading kinda sucked and inside of tube looked god awful, very rough with ridges all the way down Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tejas1836: Be careful with Rguns however. The receiver extensions that I received threading kinda sucked and inside of tube looked god awful, very rough with ridges all the way down Does anyone else have experience with RGuns receiver extensions? Some pics would be great. I’ve heard good and bad about RGuns over the years, but $20 for a 7075 sandodized RE seems worth the gamble. ETA: Somehow missed this, 0 for 2 for RGuns so far.

Only way to know for sure is to try one, but I wouldn’t have super high expectations. |
