AR & Rust?

Ah ok. I guess I'm just used to explaining things to idiots then. Sorry about that. When asked to explain the difference between a cooling lube and a warming lube you just get used to never assuming anyone knows anything. I would however like to pick up a bare set of recievers to alodine. It is another process similar to anodization which leaves a surface more suitable to painting but it does not harden the surface like anodization does. However it does leave a nice translucent gold tint that I always just liked the look of and is more readily done at home without all the expensive equipment.

Yeah, Alodine (aka Irridite) is easy to apply, but scratches very easily. It's just a film a couple, three ten-thousandths thick. Does make a good base for a primer and paint though.
If you do use Alodine, make sure you get the workpiece (receiver, in your case) absolutely clean.
