People have been talking about 80% lowers a lot lately, but the question that comes to my mind after that is "What do you do about finishing it?" There are lots of metal finishing shops in eastern Mass. (many of which specifically advertise mil-spec hard-coat anodizing) and even more that I could ship to. Keeping it local would be nice, though.
Anyone done the legwork already and have a shop they like?
Shops that I know of offhand are River Street in Braintree, Coating Systems in Lowell, and whatever that shop is in Beverly that does great powder coating, but there have got to be dozens more and I'm betting somebody has already called around and figured out who does quality work at a reasonable price and doesn't mind dealing with small-scale retail customers. I believe an FFL is also required, but I'm guessing any large shop that does refinishing work already has one. (I know River Street does.)
Thanks!
