    A mate of mine spoke with Theoben when they were still in business and this is indeed what he was told by them. I would go down the route of an alternative finish.

    Anodising will dimensionally change the part, Cerakote will only dimensionally change the externals

    I do both and Cerakote would be much better for a Rapid block
