Stripping anodising from a reciever

[Jason8]

I've read many different things lately on taking the anodising off of an aluminium reciever.

Does anyone have a conclusive solution please?

Things already in the frame: Mr Muscle oven cleaner, caustic soda, Greased Lightning, Drain cleaner.

I'd like to know if someone has a successful recipe.

Thanks.

Why would you want to?

Cant for the life of me see any benefit.

I assumed you wanted to gold plate it so I started there with my search, seems there's quite a few people want to gold-plate aluminium.

or for real stubborn stuff that is hard to shift try this:

And it will probably go wrong. If you dont get every little bit out it goes horrible, best thing to do is get a plating company to strip and replate it all in one go. Lost track of how many ruined plating jobs I have seen because someone went all amateur hour.
