What is the weight OP?
I have seen literally tens of thousands of M4s and M16s in amphibious military service, and thousands of AR15s of various flavors in civilian/police use, and I have never seen that kind of corrosion on anodized weapon parts.
I have also never seen any weapon requirements that listed alodizing as a requirement, so I am interested in the source for that information.
What I have seen is non-anodized/non-treated areas (due to cuts through the anodizing or lack of coating) quickly wear and corrode.
I like it... the lower has character. Might be concerned about catching it on my gear though....

I believe there was a total of 16 tools used in the milling process. You also have to have a pretty good CNC in order to get those angled cuts.
While I was there at his shop, he put on a pretty good show. He put a 80% lower (won't say which company) into a vise and had me hit the back where the buffer tube is with a hammer. It broke off into two pieces after one good whack. This particular company states they use 6065-T6 aluminum. Then he put one of his lowers into the vise and had me whack it with the hammer. Needless to say, his lower didn't break even after 4 attempts. I thought that was pretty impressive.
While I was at his shop he also showed me a belt fed upper sitting on top of one of these lowers. I was surprised to see it had a registered sear. That was pretty bad ass.

Very nice custom lower! Reminds me of the concept cars produced by manufactures at the auto show...fun to look at but not something I would want for myself.
I suspect Markm is talking Papabear into buying him one as we speak...![]()

Not entirely sure why it would matter who made the lower in question, given that very few of us would be taking a hammer to the receiver extension, and if we did, it would be with no expectations of the part surviving that kind of abuse. I get the overriding point about strength, but receiver extension failures aren't exactly a common problem in the AR world.
I appreciate innovation as much as the next guy, but over wrought, fantasy-themed components are not exactly my forte, nor do I really understand the preoccupation with magwell holds. To each his own, of course.
