I'll wait to see what they say before getting excited.
I assumed the .458 billet upper they are selling would have been machined before anodizing - they even have ".458 SOCOM" engraved into the left side of it.
I even have one of Jay's uppers just sitting on a shelf - didn't want to have it machined and then painted over.
You should see the finish on the shell deflector on my 300. Those short cases dinged most of the finish off in the first hundred rounds. Is something similar happening with the 458 cases?
