    TNA, can you shed light on this alleged situation?

    Youza.
    The first sets of SLRs arrived with a piss-poor anodization. It was then decided Macabee would do cerakoting instead of anodized.

    Many did not like this, as the price they paid was for an anodized (stronger finish) set. There was some time where it was unknown what the #### was happening, and I believe it was TNA that began the train on receiving bare receivers and having them anodized themselves.

    So each retailer now is either a) outsourcing the anodizing, using Maccabees ####ty anodized, or receiving them from Macabee in cerakote

    Kudos to TNA for going the extra mile and finding a high quality solution to MDI's poor anodizing selection and QC.

    It probably takes a tad more than light reading to figure out how to build an ar start to finish for someone who has zero idea what they are doing...

    Not true, CSC/ Maccabee are still using the same garbage “anodizing”. They had talked about it but not sure how many sets they actually got finished by a professional company like RDSC. Anyone getting their set through TNA should thank their lucky stars.

    So what could one expect in terms of the garbage anodizing?

    Youza.
