    Yeah, that mismatch looks like @ss. I won’t be pleased if mine arrives like that. Actually, when they want money I’ll demand a match or cancel the order.

    Good luck with that, it appears they anodized the receiver and bottom metal at different time that's why all the recievers are all darker than bottom metal

    That doesn’t make it acceptable. Perhaps MRA would like to comment on this?

    I just checked the FX9 along with others and there is also a variation in the finish.

    Their FDE is horribly mismatched. It looks like @ss too. Their black is good.

    For the premium price paid for these you’d expect better consistency. I’m surprised they were even sent out looking like this.

    The anodising match is pretty poor, it was obvious inside but taking it out into the sun even brought more attention to it.

    Whether it was just the anodising being too heavy or the threads being a bit off at the front of the barrel nut I’m not sure, but I did end up going over to see a millright friend of mine to run a split die over it lightly to clean it up. It would not accept any barrel nut I had the way it came, way too tight.

    That’s really disappointing. Glad you were able to get it fixed though. I would say as far as the colour of the anodizing, this is some of the worst I’ve had out of any of the sets I’ve owned. And I owned an SLR lol. Their anodizing was terrible but at least it matched.

    I just can’t get over how blue yours looks. I’ll have to take mine outside and have a look at it as well.

    First off, from one builder to another..........your build looks really excellent and has inspired me!!

    That being said it was really unfortunate to hear about your issues of barrel nut fitment and the anodizing.

    I am pleased you were able to take actions to remedy the situation, however they should not have been necessary.

    I look forward to and await MRA's constructive response to this

    regards
