Sorry if this has been beat to death –– it hasnt shown up in the searches i did


Can these rifles be parkerized to make the uppers/lowers match ––––––- or do they have to be anodized?              I dont really know if it is possible to park aluminum,  but it seems like an easier way for me to get my upcoming rifle project to match (local 'smith does some parkerizing, but i dont know anybody who does anodizing locally) ––––  I had a pistol parke'd and it came out the grayish greenish tint of the retro AR's

Parkerizing is for steel, not aluminum.

JTB0311 is right, AL will not parkerize. But you can send out your upper and lower to US anodizing he does a bang up job of refinishing retro lowers!
