AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Acid rain had a picture that i cant seem to find of a gun someone kept in lye for too long. It wasn't pretty.
Aluminum doesn't rust in the traditional sense. Aluminum oxide is what rubies are made of.
It also oxidizes almost instantly so sticking it in lye isnt going to give you anything other than a ruined gun.
When you anodize a gun you simply grow an extra thick layer of aluminum oxide on the surface of the piece. It is much more scratch and abrasion resistant than the aluminum itself, so i suggest getting the piece anno'd before you play with it.
PM me if you are interested in anno and i might be able to do something for you.
Here's the thread with that pic you're talking about:
