I just ordered a few 80% lowers for a winter project, and I noticed the finish is a bit rough. (pre anodized)
It's not that big of a deal because these are just beater guns we are building. Some have minor scratches and gouges in the metal forging before anodizing. Kinda like seconds or blems might look. I was wondering if this is typical. Thanks, jkm |
| The metal is fairly soft (pre-ano) so it is quite possible that there is damage to your soon to be lower that would look like that just from careless handling . Given the demand that's out there for them I could see banged up one getting through QC. That said no it it not typical of ones that I have seen, |

Quoted:
Some receivers, whether 80% or factory, will have the "blemishes" that you describe from the forging process or poor handling. Just the nature of the beast with a mass produced firearm. That is what I thought too, but 5 out of 5 seemed a bit much. But either way, they are going to take care of it. jkm |
