Stripping and reanodizing is going to open up all the holes (like your MLOK slots) and make things fit loose.
I considered an SR-15 Mod2 SBR but instead opted to not wait 12+ months for the Form 4 to be approved. The rifle being built is based around a Centurion Arms 12.5" CHF barrel and I vastly prefer the 30-45 day turnaround time on Form 1s right now. As for the anodizing I don't feel it's any different than blasting off the black anodizing in preparation for cerakote, as H-series cerakote has a cured thickness of .001-.002 inches. Type 3 anodizing which is what I'm opting for - uniformity and color matching be damned - will be roughly the same thickness when complete. I also highly doubt the stripping and refinishing process on the MLOK slots will cause such a change in dimensions that it will cause an issue of fitment for a Scout light mount and MAYBE an Arisaka finger stop - everything else will be mounted to the top rail.
In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear;
and safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here:
the storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me, and can I be dismayed?
