Emag: Strip, re-anno or hard anno question - will it hurt tolerance?

[cledford]

I'm like to get my "classic" black Emag stripped and re-annoed.

I'd like to have the hard anno (mil-spec like AKA uses) done - but then we get into a tolerance area. The hard anno is thick I understand. Will it cause a problem?

Even if I go with normal anno - will stripping it remove enough material to make a tolerance problem? (Any issues at all - I DO NOT want to screw anything up...)

Also, what's the best way to polish the parts? I just got a ULE rail, which is "rough" around the edges - lots of machining marks...

Thanks,

-Calvin

The only things you need to worry about are fit of parts like the battery pack onto the grip frame, screws through the holes, mainbody fit onto the rail solenoid fit into the slot in the frame and maybe a few other things. It really depends on how thick the ano is, but I don't think it should be a problem.

Might want to bear in mind, I think Tom said somewhere that re-anodizing would void the warrenty. I think it was in one of the slug body threads.

i dont think that stainless steel will take anodizing, (correct me if im worng) but i think you have to get it powdercoated....

Calvin. I start with sanding with 400 to get the marks out. Go to 600 then put it on a wheel with an abrasive wheel. A feather touch is all that is needed with these wheels. Then the buffing is done with black compound on a Sisal wheel, followed up with a white compound on a cotton flannel wheel.
