Re: Sending out compleated 80% AR Lower to be Anodized
Hard-coat anodizing has extremely fine aluminum oxide powder (pulverized grinding wheel material) in the solution. IIRC , The particles take a charge and 'arc' themselves to the base metal. Makes for a Rockwell 70c hard skin. A high-speed toolbit is 65c. I've done parts and they would spark when a toolbit or drill would

What about powdercoating a finished lower? Would that clog up the threads?

Powder coating is too thick could cause a lot of issues.

Re: Sending out compleated 80% AR Lower to be Anodized
I have to assume that the spray on coat is not going to be as durable as professional anodizing.
And that most duracoating in the wild has been done over a anodized surface.
So my question is what kind of strengthening can be expected from this coating when done to a non-anodized receiver interior?
Specifically as it relates to the stress points below the pin.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

That's what I thought.
One step I did not consider in my first 80% build was treating the milled-out portion.
Bluing might be another option, right?
