Hi, all! My first post in the retro forum, and I have what may seem a silly question:
Is there any bad ju-ju with having an A1 upper that's seen better days stripped and re-anodized? I guess what I am asking is, is it like sporterizing a K-31 or anything evil like that? I know it's mine and I can do whatever I want with it, but just wondering what the consensus was, if any? The upper in question is from one of the SG kits. It's a medium-light grey right now, a little rough but totally serviceable by my count. I would like to have it re-anodized to the current spec and build it into an A1.5 (A2 lower, A1 upper and furniture). If I wanted to I could return this kit, wait around and try to snag the perfect parts for my purpose. However, given the current political climate and supply back-ups, I have decided I'd rather restore a little respect to this old soldier. Plus it's not all bad - the furniture (buttplate aside) and BCG are looking pretty good. Thanks all! MO |

Send it to John Thomas (member here) to have it anodized. US Anodizing is another option but they are not taking outside work at the moment. +1 for John Thomas, can't go wrong Thanks to you both! A quick search yielded his contact info, so I'll fire off an email to him right away. I'll have to make-do with a Del-Ton un-chromed barrel and F-marked FSB for now as I refuse to pay freak-out prices  Time will determine if I have that option long-term.
