    As to Milspec. Just repeating what they said. I am more of a shooter trainer than metal guy. They use current mil spec parts/materials and then RF85 treat them. Its not a coating. This may end up a game changer.

    I am sending them a 1911 to have RF85 treatment done to see how it works on a hard use carry pistol.

    On the rifles I have ordered a 308 with 26" bbl to compete in F TR Class and that should tell me just how accurate thier system can be
    Where are you located?

    In this process, Stan Pate, also of US National F TR Team, and I where invited back to Andersons to beat up a couple of rifles.

    We spent two days throwing the rifles in mud and water, then shooting the rifles while still dripping wet( We let water run out of gas system before shooting for safety). I lost count of how many times we stomped and or dropped the rifles in some serious sand/clay mud and then shot them. We NEVER CLEANED OR OILED THE RIFLES. The rifles performed very well.

    We also toured the manufacturing plant and I have to tell you I was surprized but who other top AR type rifles Andersons was making uppers and lowers for. The plant is huge and they where making all kinds of serious equipment from Up Armor kits for Humvees, to Vault doors to highly procise DOD contracts. We where impressed.

    Andersons filmed our shooting and a short segment should air on The Outdoor Channel some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I find dates I will update this thread.

    Now the real important stuff. Anderson's has listened to you and I. They now have M4 feedramps on all its ARs. Every part inside is current Milspec. The barrels are now there own spec with the RF85 treatment. I am working with them to treat a 1911 to see how the treatment holds up to a hand built daily use beat to death pistol.

    Accuaracy of the rifles is fantastic. Stan made up some handloads for a 16" and was getting .25 moa groups, with a massive high power ( looked ridiculous on tops scope) just for group testing. I was just shooting crummy ammo with a MK4 1.5-5 scope on it and held 3" circle from magazine prone at 100 yards for 30 rds.

    In the beat/mud tests we used a 20" Anderson with MK4 3.5-10 Coyotee colored M110 scope, with Alumina Covers and a MK4 1.5-5 on a 16" Anderson.

    One of the most impressive thing was I kept dropping the 20" with 3.5-10 MK4 into 2.5-3' of water and not even the scope caps leaked. Lense where still dry after two days of mud and water on them

    I am impressed!
    I know Stan and he is going to let me try out his rifle.

    Any idea on the filmed portion? I'd like to check it out.

    Before anyone asks, neither Stan or I where paid for that. We became sold while beating the products up

    Any update on your experience with Anderson Manufacturing?
    I've been looking at some 308's and no one seems to have any of Anderson/s in stock.

    I found these guys while searching for a stripped lower to build.

    Of course, I would LIKE to buy the lower from "Anderson" due to the most OBVIOUS reason 1st

    But... I cannot justify it based on name alone if the quality is not up to snuff.

    I'm thinking that the stripped lower is of the same quality as any other lower? (w/in reason, of course between comparable lowers)

    The lower and a LPK is the only thing I'm looking at right now to buy from them.

    I like the name and the logo heh.

    I got a stripped Anderson lower, it went together fine with a DD lower parts kit and a BCM mid upper. Got it cheap, it works like any other stripped lower I've built

    *ETA*

    What's the finish like? If it's 7075 forged aluminum, it's the same as any big brand, right?
