Outstanding metal finishing and coating - Icon Defense Forged Stripped Upper Receiver

I spent most of my work life in aerospace machining and fabrication facilities, performing various Quality Assurance roles. About 40 years or so. Quality isn't a catch phrase, it's the lifeblood of the industry and the people who work there. Now... obviously I haven't seen or touched every upper receiver out there, but I have given this ICON Defense a super critical eye. The metal finishing is absolutely spectacular. Aerospace critical parts quality. The type 3 anodized finish was so smooth it had me back at the description because it sure feels like a Teflon coating. It's that smooth, consistent and professionally done. I slid my NiB WMD polished BCG into this receiver and again just unbelievably perfect in every way. I'm still waiting on a couple more parts before I can assemble my 24" match grade Vamint barrel, but I have no doubt whatsoever the results ahead using these super high quality components. Yes. I can without any constraints recommend this ICON Defense to meet quality expectations.
