Re: Sending out compleated 80% AR Lower to be Anodized
When we were kids my sister and I copper coated a nickel using a penny as the donor for the metal. We were less than 10 years old and I don't remember anything about the process but we did it with stuff we found around the house and garage.

All anodizing is not equal. Mil-Spec 'hardcoat' anodizing is what ya want.

Re: Sending out compleated 80% AR Lower to be Anodized
It doesn't strengthen, it hardens and separates.
Aluminum has a coefficient of friction greater than 1; it sticks to itself like nothing else.
Anodizing creates a separation layer to eliminate the friction/galling, and creates a wear surface harder than raw aluminum.
Look up how to inspect a Sig Sauer aluminum frame, you'll learn all about it.

Re: Sending out compleated 80% AR Lower to be Anodized
Any work done on an 80 makes it not an 80. From the first home cut it is now under ffl rules. Ianal. This is what has been explained to me by lawyers in law classes, subject to my lay understanding.
Lots of YouTube videos on anodizing. Not hard compared to turning an 80 into a built lower. Just all sciencey and unknown like building an upper until you do it.
Hard anodizing is just a thicker layer. Anodizing is self limiting as it doesn't conduct.The Gun is the Badge of a Free Man
