The purpose of anodizing is to harden the surface of the AL, and secondary is to give the metal color. If you have pin holes that are not finished that means you have relatively soft metal in a wear spot. The anodizing is there to reduce wear, and an unfinished pin hole is going to wear out quicker than one that was finished.
Also if you fail to machine the trigger pin holes round, and loose enough to where the pin wobbles in the lower...that will likely lead to problems down the road.
As far as the LPK pieces I mentioned......they "look" like crap. I know how they look doesn't affect function. What Im saying is they do not look like what Im used to LMT seeing, and based on everything else I saw I can only assume the two are related to a lack of QC lately.
The bottom line is I have no idea why people have come to accept bad parts as a mark of pride or something because they are a "serious end user". Colt has a good reputation for quality, and aside from a few lemons you wont see this kind of crap on their guns. You would certainly see good stake jobs, trigger pin holes machined well, pivot pin holes that are machined well, and actually anodized, etc. That is the type of thing I would expect to see on brands with far lower a reputation than LMT, and Ive always thought of them as being one of the better choices out there.
Understand all. My post was not directed at you specifically.
