Effective immediately, Cerakoted selectors will have Cerakoted levers and screws, but Parkerized centers.

We debated this internally and with Joey at War Sport, who does most of the Cerakoting on these selectors, it was decided to leave the center Parkerized. This is NOT a cost saving measure, but a step to ensure compatibility.

TDP diameter of the thickest section of the selector is 0.373 -0.015, we run such tight tolerances, it's right on the money. Cerakote does add a bit of thickness to it, even a 0.002 thickness might be too much for receivers with slightly smaller selector holes.

To date, Cerakoted selectors compatibility issues, specifically, its diameter being 0.002 or so larger than the host receivers, can be counted in one hand. However, with more manufacturers making AR receivers, it's virtually guaranteed a few will not be in spec, the prudent thing to do is preempt these issues once we identify it. In this case, leaving the center at TDP specs and not coating them.

Once the existing stock of coated centers (not many left) is exhausted, Cerkoted selectors will ship with Parkerized centers :)

Robo, can you please change the title to "Cerakoted Selectors"?  I'm too dumb to figure it out lol :)

 

I don't think too many people are going to care, they can't see the center once it's installed, I just wanted to let folks know the reason, and it is because we're trying to save a few bucks ;)
