First AR 15 Build

[AK Gun Man 88]

So here is my first build. A1 Buttstock w/o trap door, A1 pistol grip, triangular handguards, Del-ton Lightweight 5.56 barrel non-chrome lined, A1 upper receiver w/o FA or SD. All that's left is the 3 prong FH and Young Chrome Slick Side bolt carrier.

I am debating if I should Duracoat the upper black/anodize to black or leave her as is. Thoughts?

Very nice. Love the old school A1. Would be great if you could figure a way to lighten the lower to match the color of the upper.

Forgot to mention the Nodak Spud Triangular Charging Handle.

leave that upper grey.

I just visited US Anodizing's website. Looks like it would be $50 to reanodize the upper black or $75 (plus the cost of disassembly/shipping/insurance) to reanodize the lower gray. I think im gonna leave her as is.
