I may be mistaken, but I believe colt changed the color shortly after the ban started.

really? please tell me there is some oddball model or year that they were black like the new ones.
Also, is it a bad idea to refinish a preban colt lower to match a post ban colt upper? |

FYI...I know a guy in NY that took a pre-ban lower and a new upper and had them re-finished to match. Turned out bad ass! Just a suggestion.

I would not bother with the color match, but that is a personal decision. I don't remember the company that does reanodizing but I have read posts from people here who have had it done and were very happy.

When you get it refinished do you need to do a form for the transfer or the lower or anything else in the legal sense?
Also, about how long and how much does it cost to have a grey colt preban lower refinished to black? |

Also, about how long and how much does it cost to have a grey colt preban lower refinished to black? US Anodizing is a great company. They are a FFL so you send the lower directly to them. Look at their web site for color and pricing. They list a lower as $75, plus $25 if an old finish needs to be removed. If you have any questions e-mail them. The owner, Victor responds pretty quickly. |
