All maple ridge barrels on TNA have those break in instructions at the bottom of the page. Of course you can rock any barrel without doing any break in steps and it will probably work fine. But it’s good practice to do something and those instructions seem like a good practice as it covers things like gas block being secure and checking for bolt wear. I’d say play it safe, do the step, if there’s something wrong you’ll catch it right away and hopefully get refunded or replacement.

Hmmm.... not trying to be a douche on TNA’s forum but why are you guys still waiting after you pre-order while there are still some in stock on csc’s website?!?
Don’t get me wrong, I love TNA and I always buy my stuff from them, but that’s just ridiculous. I just bought my second receiver set without ever being part of a pre order lol.

TNA offered an 11% discount on AR parts for those who ordered the receiver sets with them, so I'm guessing some might have already bought the parts and don't want to lose the discount.
if they spend 1k on parts, that would be a little over $100 instant loss to cancel the order.
Youza.

so maybe TNA made a pre order of say 100 sets. other company does the same. preorders get filled aswell.just because one place has receiver sets for sale before TNA has filled all there orders means that the other comapny got there orders aswell with out having customers lined up already no biggie
true, our anodizing meets MIL-A-8625F spec
This warrants some obvious questions ;
- Why would there be different finishing processes? This should be manufacturer's specs, not retailer.
- This information if accurate should have been disclosed to customers by Maccabee
TNA, can you shed light on this alleged situation?
Youza.
If you read back in this long thread you'll see the full history. The TL;DR -- maccabee's locals anodizer's results were unsatisfactory so they decided to cerakote them. Many of our customers did not want to accept this substitution, so TNA made an arrangement with Maccabee to get the receivers bare aluminum and anodize ourselves. So far our customers are very happy with the results
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
My set is low 200s. Anodized by TNA. Im happy with the coating.

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.
