Ok so here is my CMR on my 6720. The CMR and other items are "Hydro dipped" and I think it came out pretty good (the receivers are painted by myself using Aervoe Light Coyote) . The Hydro Dipping was done by http://virginiahydrodesigns.com/index.html

I absolutely love the way it looks. My only concern is how it will hold up on the CMR. The gentleman at Va. Hydro Designs told me they blast the anodized finish off in order to achieve maximum adhesion. Hearing that made me cringe but these guys do this for a living and I decided to let them do it. After reading up on Hydro Dipping it really is all in the prep work and putting the proper primers, base coats, finishes, etc. and these guys do just that. I'm just worried that my rail is not as "rugged" as it should be with no anodized finish on it. I guess time will tell
Some of you that have more knowledge than I do in anodized finishes, 6061 T6 aluminum, and "hydro dipping" can tell me if what I have done to my CMR could have compromised the overall structural integrity of the rail? I would greatly appreciate your input on this subject. I intend to use this as my go to rifle whenever/whatever situation(hopefully never) time comes. I need this thing to be G2G and reliable without me thinking twice about it. That is why I am asking these questions.
Let me know what y'all think.
Thanks
