Long Term NP3

I have 5 or 6 AR's with NP3 coatings and they have endured high round count with zero issues. I love NP3 BCG's.

I love NP3 as well.

My Benelli M4 H2O is literally 100% NP3+ and it wipes clean so easily it is ridiculous.

I love me some Benelli shotguns too. I’ve seen that H20 model. Nice gun.

I have a Robar SR90 bolt gun I've had since the mid 1990's. The bolt is NP3, and other than minor wear at the rear of the locking lugs its held up well.

How would you describe the wear? Polishing? Coating perforation or missing? Thanks in advance!

No cracking or flaking, but you can see wear marks where the surfaces contact each other. I know a semi auto bolt has alot more going on that a bolt action, but it has held up well. On top of the age, in the last few years I've been shooting PRS type stuff at a local club, so it has not been babied in the crazy Montana weather.

Thanks PB, she’s a real beaut and is dead nuts reliable.

For those who have Sionics Np3 carrier, is the interior bore of the carrier chromed or NP3? Thats probably the place that will see the most wear with the gas rings constantly scraping the inside.

The interior of mine is NP3. It's also at least 1/2 gone at the forward portion, with less than 250 rounds fired. I didn't notice it at all the last time I cleaned it.
