My Xm build is on the homestretch! I sent off my upper and buffer tube for reanodizing to Vic. Anyone know what the turnaround time is these days?

Now if I could just get a BCG w/o paying an arm and leg I'd be in business...

It will most likely be back in your hand less than 2 weeks from the day you mailed it.

That was my experience in Nov. '07 with a LPK.

I've got a lower w/them right now, and I see that the web site has a note they're covered up w/work right now, and it may be several weeks until they can get to an individual piece..  I'm figuring about 3-4 weeks until I get my piece back..

Hmm; in the past it's been a pretty reliable two weeks, but I guess I might have a new NDS-16A1 before I see the couple of charging handles I sent Victor on January 14th.

Well, we shall see. My upper was supposed to be there today. So I guess the clock starts now.

I emailed them asking this question, and Victor said 4 weeks.

Normally if your parts are preped for anodizing...ie stripped and blasted then he just needs to run them through the tanks.  That shouldn't take too long...I would say 2 weeks.  But if you are sending in a lower or upper that needs to be disassembled, stripped, preped, then ano-ed, then I would expect a few more weeks.

Quicker turnaround when ready to run through the tanks!!!

Criminy. I don't have all the parts together that I need to send, but I want to get all my stuff done ASAP. Sigh. What to do, what to do. How do you guys send return postage?

I send him a money order for the cost of the services plus a shipping estimate that's high by a few dollars. If you're not sure what the finishing cost will be just email what you want done and he'll send you a quote, less shipping. He ships by USPS, or at least he has for me.

+1

I just take the package, unsealed to the PO, and find out what it'll cost to ship it to him, w/insurance. Then just add that amount to the cost of the service you're ordering from him,. I just get a money order right there at the PO, put it in the package w/the letter of instructions, seal it, and ship it.
