Like many, I had hoped to get an AR-15 \'one day\'. And again, like many, I felt spurred by the looming threat of civilian disarmament. So, over the X-mas holiday, my wife and I purchased 2 complete lowers as gifts to each other. We did this because 1) the price of complete rifles is ridiculous due to the afore mentioned \'looming threat\', and 2) I really like DIY hobbies. Fortuitously, I found your podcast via Stitcher/Gun Rights Radio Network on your 3rd episode. I love the content and the relaxed banter-style atmosphere. It makes me feel as though I am visiting with friends and gleaming knowledge from their experience. In the DIY sense of things, I would love to make our ARs uniquely us. My wife is still deciding how she would like her build. I too am deciding many factors. This brings me to my question for your podcast. While black is tacti-cool for an EBR, I am interested in custom finishes. I really like the nickel boron finish offered by the Mega Billet NiB Combo. With its high cost and extreme unavailability (due to current issues), we bought standard black complete lowers from SOG Armory in Houston, TX. Your podcast, however, has inspired me and I wish to refinish my lower and future build in my choice of colors. As a Texas Aggie I would love to finish my AR in a nice two-tone color combo using an anodized Aggie Maroon color for the lower/upper and possibly the handguard/rail and buttstock. I gather that the current finish on my SOG-15 lower needs to be stripped before I can apply a custom finish. I am hoping you guys can inform me as to: 1) How to strip the current finish and any gotchas to watch out for 2) Choices in refinishing such as cerakote, anodizing, etc. 3) Considerations in altering the mil-spec dimensions via the refinishing process 4) Performance characteristics of various finishes, specifically how would a refinished anodized lower/upper compare to the Nickel Boron or Teflon finishes on the market --- will I create serious problems by choosing a purely anodized finish over those \'performance\' finishes Aaron: First off thanks a lot for the shows that you put on I learn a great deal from them. I was wondering if there was anything wrong with keeping a PMag fully loaded for a long period of time. I have one fully loaded in my home defense rifle and was wondering if I needed to switch mags to make sure I don't damage the integrity of the spring. Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your show and keep up the good work! Derrick: Hey guys, love the podcast!
