Are you talking metallic surface or coating? My RRA is fine with me, but I look at them as tools anyway.
Nice to hear from a fellow trooper too. |

Can you post some pictures? All my RRA's are smooth.

You just haven't affectionately stroked it enough!
 But, be careful, you don't want it to grow into a rifle!

The coating process leaves it very dry and rough feeling. A few coats of oil should give it the look and feel you were expecting.

Give it some time, the finish will eventually become smooth . Your just used to Uncle Sammy's weapons that have seen a lot of use. I have two RRA lower receivers. My first is about 4 years old and has seen quite a bit of range time, from use the receiver is smooth. My newer RRA lower is still a bit rough….for now.

My last 3 RRA lowers all wound up with Norrell's coatings for some odd reason. I can't even remember what the original black finish looked or felt like. Maybe I just like to be colorful. MJD

You have a Norrells Monkey on your back.

Ok, thanks for the support. Like I said, the rifle shoots great... The parts just feel weird. I'm used to the outside being smooth and certain internal areas being smooth.
