Matte Black Hard-Coat Anodizing Service

If the lowers are sent in from an individual's private address, then they are treated as a repair and returned directly to that individual's address once the anodizing is completed.

This service is currently only offered for AR style upper and lower receivers, no component build parts at this time.  The anodizing process does not allow for partial parts to be finished.  It's all of the receiver.  We recommend Cerakote, as it allows for some portions to be masked off, but not the anodizing process.

We recommend purchasing the service twice for each receiver.  One will cover stripping and blasting and the other covers the ano service.

When we have our lowers anodized, we specify .002 build (.001 in/.001 out), but we also lose .0012 during acid etch, so we machine to our desired post-ano dimension.

*If sending a firearm, please include a copy of your FFL or driver's license.  Our FFL can be located here (ensure you use the correct FFL 9-88-04742 when sending in firearms).

NO 80% lowers that have been milled out without being properly engraved with Make, Model, SN will be accepted.  If received at our facility you will be charged a $25 transfer fee and return shipping.

Turn around time is currently 14-21 business days from date received (if you're sending in a receiver for service).

Yes, the product and service can be added to your order.  For clarification and to expedite order processing, please annotate in the customer notes on the order which product purchased you would like sent for service.

We would strip your current finish off and prep to bare metal before anodizing regardless.

Yes.  No Problem.  As long as the FCG is solid and doesn't have any of the 3 FCG holes drilled in it.

We can do any types, as long as its completely stripped down.  You have to also ensure its an aluminum receiver as Mossberg has made both Steel and Aluminum receivers.  A better option may be cerakote in your case, to be honest.  Depending on what type of aluminum was used (they have used many grades including cast) you may not get the finish you desire from anodizing.

Not unless it is engraved with the proper information as stated in the product description.

The min ATF depth of .003" is suitable but of course, the deeper the better.

No, I'm sorry, we can't.  Because of many variables in the metal and how various finishing processes change the characteristics of it, your best bet for matching the "Colt Grey" would be Cerakote.
