| Need a lead on someone in the Houston area that will re-anodize an AR15 upper receiver on a one-off basis. Have contacted a couple of companies through the telephone book, but they only did new and/or quantity work. Thanks for any info. |
| You can take it to any plating shop and ask to have it stripped and re anodized. The problem is that the strip will remove the plating and some material. Then when it is re-hard anodized it will not build up enough to compensate and the lugs will be loose and the threads will be loose. Also, most plating shops have a $50 minimum fee per process, so it would probably cost more than just buying a new receiver. |

This is a little more than "just a receiver". It has been modified from A2 config. to A-XTarget, to be used in a space gun config. using iron sights with a 32" sight radius. We working on it, a step at a time.
Thanks, Gunny. Your input is spot on. Was hoping to find someone here in Houston to do that exact type of work. |

Their quality is also top notch. If you can't find someone local...that's where I would send mine! |

Not sure if they can help you but I had some of my car parts anodized by Surface Techniques in Houston. While I was there I noticed a few 1911 parts being anodized. They are reasonably priced and have very quick turn around (a few days).
