Have you emailed US Anodizing? I keep seeing post that Victor isn’t taking on any new work but he just did a buffer tube, trigger guard, mag release button and slip ring for me. Sent everything out at the beginning of May and received it two days ago. Had everything anodized XM Gray and he did an amazing job! If you haven’t already, send him an email. I let him know that I was in no hurry and he could get to my parts at his convenience. The estimate was 4-8 weeks. I also sent a prepaid return shipping label to make it easier for him.

I couldnt get a reply from US Anodizing. I sent email a while back and after getting no response I just gave up.
I sent my lower off to New Frontier last week. It's a shame. I really wanted to do my lower in XM grey. I guess I'll just have to settle for doing my retro in black. |

I keep checking the site and see this. "Posting 5/7/2018 We are currently working on several large contracts, and NOT able to take additional work at this time. Please do not send us any non-contract work without prior approval. Production work is running on schedule. Thank you" |

Okay, but let's say he's not doing any more work. Who else can do it?
Also his prices are pretty steep, $300 for an upper and a lower now. |

Just FYI.
This is not a slam US Anodizing thread. I have seen their work and oh baby! I just was wondering if any one else was in the swimming pool with them as far as quality since US Anodizing is loaded up. |

I talked to S.A.I. (HKILLER). They aren't taking work until, like, November.
So basically it's US Anodizing, if they are taking work, and pay out the ass, or nothing. I'm thinking of just doing a gray Cerakote in the meantime. |

US Anodizing isn’t cheap but their work is phenomenal and considering that they seem to be the only place in the country that does gray anodizing, I had no problem paying it.

So bad news - US Anodizing isn't doing any personal work this year either.
In other words, if you want XM gray, you're not getting it done until 2019. The only exception is if you have a machine gun. For some reason they're allowing those. |

SnF Finishing in Keene, NH is FFL/SOT that does Type 3 mil-std black and grey. I've used them in the past and prices are reasonable. Sometimes you need to wait a week or two on your parts for a large enough batch to run in specific shades like early grey.

Discussion ForumsJump to Quoted PostQuote History Reach out to them about it. Apparently they do grey ano for other companies as well but will take on small batch/semi-custom work. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It would be cool if Brownells offered anodizing service. Not sure that would ever happen since I believe they have Anchor Harvey anodize and finish their receivers. I think they just sell firearms and parts. Anchor Harvey would probably do big size orders not single orders. Just a dream.
I have had US Anodizing work in the past, and I was super happy with them. |
