They were anodized and there are plating firms who do that sort of thing. Or you can coat it with one of the gun coat products. (like gun coat, dura coat, etc)

Ended up with a better power source. Funny people wanted their rifle blued and wanted the aluminum to look better as well. Go figure.

As usual just my $.02
