Does anyone happen to have a side-by-side picture of the two finishes for comparison? (Anodized / Ceramic)

Thanks.

Hey there, what do you mean by ceramic finish? Like the parkerized finish found on the MK-4 lowers? If so, you'll have to wait until a) I get home and take pictures of the MOD4SA vs. MK-4 lowers and b) the ability to post pics since I just recently signed up on this site.

I may be wrong, but I always thought the "ceramic" was more parkerized looking and the Anodized has a more black teflon like finish.

The ceramic has a smoother, shinier look to it.

Ok, well whatever the nomenclature may be, I always look at it as rough parkerized versus a smooth teflon coated finish. Most, if not all uppers I've seen are of the latter variety. My MK-4 lower did not match, so I swapped it out with a MOD4SA lower - teflon coated finish and it locks up tight!
