| Has anyone on here used US Anodizing for any receivers, parts or completes? I have a PD trade in SP1 that I would love to have refinished. |

Nodak Spud uses them for their receivers and a few guys in the Retro forum have used them also for 80% lowers. You might want to post there and ask. |

Quoted:
When the old anodizing is removed and your lower is reanodized the tolerances will open up. I had a lower reanodized and the trigger/hammer pins opened up. My receiver was still usable but it definitely wasn't the same. Good luck, 1981 From their Web Site - Lower receiver (Re-Anodizing an old receiver) Removing minor imperfections, and adding extra film thickness if needed is included in the price |

Removing minor imperfections would be nice. The PD that originally had this rifle, engraved some numbers in for some reason. Probably for their own identification but they did a horrible job... Plus they never cleaned the damn thing |

Victor refinished my colt m16 lower. It is perfect. No dimensional changes. He has the process down to a science and builds up anodizing to ensure pin hole dimensions don't open up. He sent me photos of my lower with pin gauges showing dimensional perfection.
