I love the look and compactness of the classic stock minimag but prefer a low-rise centerfeed, so I've decided to build a ULE minimag. I recently purchased a raw aluminum minimag body that I want to anodize in a matte gray to look like the stock stainless steel bodies. I've never had anything anodized before, though. Does anybody have any recommendations as to who I should send it to?
I intend on keeping the stock frame and rail. But finding an autococker threaded barrel that looks like (or could be sawed off to look like) a minimag barrel has been fruitless thus far. My only other option is to have an existing barrel modified by someone either by milling autococker threads onto a twist-lock minimag barrel or by shaping an uncolored aluminum one-piece autococker barrel on a lathe. And if possible, maybe even bore out the barrel to fit freak inserts as an added bonus. Again, any recommendations?
