Aluminum grows a protective oxide layer. I'm not concerned about rust unless I throw it in the ocean.

That is literally the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard

You realize what oxidization does?

It's not about rust, it's about molecular integrity

Enjoy your gun exploding in your fucking hands

......are you fucking retarded?

Nigga, look 👏 it 👏 up 👏

*molecular integrity* nigga

If anodization were something that wasn't required, you would think companies would save literally millions of dollars on the process by skipping it altogether

If anything just spray paint your shit

EZ PZ

It's required by the military because their requirements are higher and they probably care about salt water exposure. Its required by the civilian market because they care about looks. Anodization is pretty cheap.

Also looking cool is the main reason most of us are into this

Hard coat anodizing makes parts so much stronger it's depressing that the lot charge is so high and most of the little parts I make for myself never get it

There’s no shame in wanting shit to look cool

Raw aluminum is pretty shitty

Also, do you realize how fucking stupid it is to believe that an ar will blow up and kill you in the event of a lower reciever failure?

I never said it'll kill you

You'll just be maimed

I have a binder full of pictures of lower receiver failures that I show to potential customers

@All UCP Everything agreed. I also think that acting like a gun is literally broken because of a lack of paint is literally faggot tier.

Type 3 anodizing isn't comparable to paint at all

It doesn't serve the same purposes

A lower reciever will not fail just because it lacks anodization. The fucking BCG and upper wear holes in their coatings and no one is worried about them expoloding.

A BCG is steel, so there's that

@Trolly Which makes them telling me to paint it to fix the issue even more retarded.

Send it out for ano

You have already shown to us how little you know about any type of science

Steel is usually more susceptible to rust than aluminum, and the upper is aluminum! What the fuck, are you ingesting lead pills or something?

get your shit anodized

You're getting bullied because of your justasgood levels of cope, not because people think the lower will explode

@Trolly go reread the last five minutes of the conversation dude.

Unless you get some shitty BCG, you're not going to see wear

Why, its tiresome

@Trolly because people did say my lower would explode, fuck.

It's either nitride coated, phosphate coated, NiB coated or something else

I don't agree with half the shit these clowns say but if I had to follow someone's advice between yours and them it would be a no brainer

you want the best advice there is? buy an LMT MARS

Then how do uppers survive with holes it their coatings?

The wear will increase after the surface is compromised

Cause morons dont make 80s out of uppers
