For anodizing, I would include the trigger guard, mag button, and charging handle.
You could also send the slip ring if you wanted, though those came in all different shades. |

It depends on how much you want to spend as well. Although I've had a dozen or so uppers done by US Anodizing, I've never sent a lower receiver to Victor. However, if I was going to, I would consider the whole gun pagkage price...

In the past, upper, lower, trigger guard, mag button, and charging handle. "White" lowers like I use, since I get them engraved, are cheaper to have done. If I wasn't using newish slip-rings, I might send it also but I can buy a new one for less than getting one ano'ed.

Note Trigger Guards that are re-anodized usually have a looser hole for the roll pin that holds the spring and detent in place. I had to loctite my roll pin in place to make sure it didn't fall out after re-anodizing.

So far, all the one's I've had done were DPMS's.... |

Even if the hole in the trigger guard is loose (they are suppose to have some play so it can be rotated for the winter trigger), the holes in the lower should still hold the pin in place. |

He's talking about the roll pin that holds the spring and detent in front of the trigger guard, not the roll pin that hold the trigger guard to the lower.

I can see how an upper/lower and some parts could quickly become the whole gun cost...

Maybe not relavent but I don't bother to take the trigger guards apart. Perhaps that is why I've never had problems with them.....unless part of the cost is they take them apart ?

I am pretty sure they need to be disassembled. I think the steel parts would react against the aluminum since it is an electrical process. |

I've sent RRA, DPMS, and CMT/Stag trigger guards completely assembled to US Anodizing. The RRA and DPMS guards come back with the chrome detent and the Stags come back with a matching xm gray detent. |

You'd have to ask, but I'd be very surprised if they anodized the whole assembly. I would expect them to do the disassembly for you if you send it whole.

They will disassemble but they charge to do it.
