Blue AR parts?

[Ricky_Bobby]

The wife just picked up an ar today and wants to add some blue parts to it…15” handguard, takedown pins, dust cover, bolt catch, charging handle, mag release and maybe the stock. She wants dark blue. I’ve been searching and have seen builders kits but I don’t need all of that. It’s also hard to find everything with a matching blue color (I already know that has to be a thing). Does anyone have any insight of where I might find these parts? Or is my best option to buy black parts and have them all cerakoted?

We’ve only been married for a year. Blue balls aren’t a thing yet.

...but cerakote probably is a bit classier.

I would have an independent shop cerakote the parts in NRA blue or another standard dark blue code.

The guy at Dave Santurri’s shop is supposed to do a good job.

Armscraft LLC - Cerakote work

I searched far and wide to find a shop that would do Cerakote jobs. I found Rob at Armscraft LLC in North Attleboro, MA. He didn't have a website but he did have an Instagram account to show case some of his work. He's a two-man shop so it's a small operation but his attention to detail and care...

Get them cerakoted.

1. I don’t trust the quality of those race-gun anodized parts. With cerakoting, you can pick known good parts and a handguard she likes.

2. With cerakoting, you can let her pick a much more specific color.

That will work up until the first time you clean the gun.
