Details:

• Available with satin or polished flats
• Frame must be sent in for service
• Average turnaround time: approximately 6–8 weeks
• Surface treatments are performed offsite and processed in batches
• Turnaround times are estimates and may change based on batch timing and the finishing facility’s schedule
• Each frame is prepared and inspected in-house before and after treatment
• All coatings and finishes are susceptible to normal wear, particularly in high-contact areas such as the frame rails, safeties, and magazine release
