Can anyone recommend a good anodizing shop that can handle re-anodizing an upper to look like DDC?

That CMT rail is such a great value. I think I need to go with one for my 12.5 mini recce.
|
|
|
Im looking forward to picking up another for a shorty as well.
I was worried that it'd be front heavy being 15in long, but its not at all. |

I got the Rail Scales magazine release buttons in. I'm kind of disappointed because they were supposed to be "mil spec" texture and the circles are different than USGI ones. Just my preference, there's nothing wrong with function and no complaints about the color.
Attached File Attached File Attached File The other parts are Geissele DDC, Trijicon tan, ADM FDE, Radian clear, Unity Tactical FDE, Magpul FDE, and Magpul MCT. |

Don't forget to keep an eye on the EE, I scored a LMT tanodized buffer tube there last year.

To atone for my previous sins to this thread, I offer these submissions…
I’ve been busy on the EE lately and found a few things to change up my Tano Aero and my hideous Geissele attempt from earlier. Now with CMT DRT15 & 17.7 BA Hanson barrel Attached File Thanks to @MackDaddy1962 for the ODG upper. Bronze Forward Controls trigger guard, Colt ODG buffer tube, and grey furniture in the mail (I still want this to be a mutt). Attached File @pezboytate - I consider this issue resolved, and ask to be welcomed back to the club. |

Those dirty, rotten bastards. Why on earth won't they make these regular production!? Argh...

Love the shade of those CMT rails..It's almost like a rose gold with some purple/burgundy hues, much darker than recent DDC but not bronze either.
I bought a G buffer tube in DDC last year and was kinda bummed by it. Very much so gold, not dark at all. Personal preference of course. |

Ripcord Industries Tano RE in the house. Love it. Pics up soon.. need to run up and certify eForm 4 my latest can procurement..
