As far as I can tell they did, I wouldn't imagine the finish would match so closely/exactly with the newly finished barrel if they did not
I wasn't sure if they could even do the surefire rail since it does have some plastic as part of the metal itself. Perhaps when I get some money at the beginning of the year I'll take the surefire, top rail and side saddles and have them do those. Shouldn't be more than another $100 or so (I hope)

I think it came out pretty awesome. The finish on the handguard holder is a little bit rough, but the rest of the finish overall is as smooth as you could imagine.
I didn't notice any particular sound difference, but then again, I probably have about 20-25 rounds through this thing since I bought it, so I'm no expert!
As far as I can tell on the barrel it looks like it's coated all the way back to (and including) the throat of the barrel. The thread (protector?) looks like it's coated as well from what I can tell
The shell elevator is coated, the trigger is coated, trigger guard is coated, shell release is coated, pretty much every part. Pretty much every screw is coated as well.
I haven't dry-fired it yet (or disassembled) for that matter. They did apply a little lube to the bolt from what I can see but I need to get it apart and add my own coat as well
ARGO plugs is a term I'm not familiar with, I'll be glad to take a look on that one.
They did impress me with the dis-assembly and re-assembly. They even put the sticky back felt padding back on the back of the GG&G bolt release on install (including coating the bolt release and the screw). Additionally, I asked them to coat the original bolt release and they did that as well
Overall it was a good experience. I would take great care to make sure you describe exactly what you want on the form when/if you have them do a job. After sending it in and signing the invoice, I never heard a peep from them until it was on the way back. They initially quoted something like 90 days and finished in ~6-7 weeks.
It wasn't cheap (even with their 10% discount from September) but it sure seems to be high quality. They said in their instructions that they couldn't coat titanium but, from what I can tell, they did a bang up job on the carrier comp tube as well.
I think you're right, it does end up being a better product than the H2O if for no other reason than the titanium tube and some additional parts as well as NP3+.
Other than for merely cosmetic reasons I probably would've had them do the shell holder/top rail and surefire foreend also since everything else turned out so well, but gray on gray on gray might be a bit much.
The pictures don't do it justice, you can't tell it's done after-market, it looks new off the shelf

Straight Benelli M4:
Added a Surefire Foreend (US) w/Larue Index Clips and Tape Switch
Carriercomp 7 Round Ti mag tube (US)
FFT follower (US)
Sidearmor top rail/side saddle
GG&G Bolt Release Pad
Benelli Collapsible Stock (Non-US)
(StrangerDanger) did the trigger work adding:
FFT trigger (US)
FFT disconnector (US)
Geissele Hammer (US)
TTI Extended Shell Lifter
Robar did the full NP3+ on the entire thing (just got it back today)
Pictures came out only so-so, but I think it turned out to be a beautiful piece so far.
Hopefully I can add one of those Leupold Deltapoint Pro's next spring

Delivery of my NP3+ M4 tomorrow (supposedly)
-
No C-Stocks have been around , but not the muzzles. Price may go down a liltle but availability will be extremely low.
I must've gotten c-stock at a bad time, paid like $330 a couple of months ago
-
i agree with you, the spikes are for pivoting the breacher for leverage.
Benelli designed and tested it thoroughly before putting it out there.
i think both models are cool, however the newer one adding another feature to the muzzle.
I wonder if the muzzle device is going to be like the c-stocks? Rare and expensive for now but then they do a big run and are found to be cheaper a little while later?
-
Looking at the collective opinions about everyone's favorite lube/oil for their Benelli.
Since Noveske is one of the top end barrels for AR's, I've stuck with their recommended choice for all of my firearms, KG Oil. Love me some KG-4

IMO, just because some thing has a few spikes on it doesn't mean it is designed for breaching, stabbing, or rebar cutting. Look at how the muzzle brake is mounted, on a choke tube adapter with small threads. Jamming that on a door will surely DAMAGE THE THREADS ON THE BARREL.
Good god what a collection! I have one on my 870 (not really for door breeching, I don't really do that...) but I would much rather damage a $350 base shotgun than my beautiful M4 (which is away getting the Robar NP3+ for quite a while)
My biggest complaint with the 870 choke (probably the same with the M4) is just the added length
-
yes that's the new version, Have you seen one prior to the listing ?
Nope, didn't know they existed actually!
-
The older one is a brake compensator , the newer is both of those and a breacher. i haven't tried one.
So the guy is selling the newer one on GB? Are they really that rare?
-
Vertigo do you have the breaching muzzle with the jagged edges or the flat muzzle brake ?
Anyone have one of the factory ones? Just wondering if it's actually very effective as a brake/comp or if the purposes really is more for door breeching
-
I love mine!
EEsh, I get paying a premium for parts, but ouch. +1 for the return of Kip

7.5 MOA......?
Holy crap.......that's huge!
I have an Aimpoint Micro H-1 already. It's nice, but the window is small. I have seen some DP videos and the glass seems perfectly clear and a large field of view. The only downsides were having to unmount for the battery among others, which is why I was hoping for the DP2. Also, the Trijicon RMR has the same un-mount to fix battery problem and that hideous blue-green tint as well.
I believe the 7.5 MOA is actually the "Delta Point" reticle, basically a triangle, so you can use the tip of the triangle to aim
-
Was counting on getting a Leupold Deltapoint 2 for my M4. Seems like I have plenty of time to wait on Robar doing the NP3+. Leupold just said that they will not make a DP2 but instead the Deltapoint Pro will be available in March 2015
-
I actually have the sidearmor mod3 QD shell holder and rails. I'm not sure of the advantages of Rogard for these type of items, but black is black is black and if it's included?
Gee...I don't know. Black or black?
You have the 'Tactical Shotgun Solutions' shell holder and rail, right? I have them too, and if it were me, I would leave them with the original finish. YMMV:) -
It appears that what I ordered might come with Rogard included. I actually didn't even know what that was until I looked it up. I wonder if I should have the top rail/side saddle and shell holders coated in that? I asked Robar yesterday, but they haven't been the best on email communication so far.
Sweet! You'll love the look. Before I bought one, when I was still drooling over them, I happened to see the H20 version on GB and, I knew then that I wouldn't be happy with the standard model after seeing the H20.
Post a pic when you get it back!
-
Second that. It will look better to have that piece coated.
Had to open up the package and update the order form this morning to add that little tidbit
Is in the hands of UPS now, in a month or so I'm expecting to have it back! Here's hoping to having an nice NP3+ Coated H2O killer!
-
Getting ready to send it out tomorrow. Last opinions on the GG&G Bolt release? I think I decided to keep the rest H2O style (black top rail, black side saddle)...can't decide on bolt release
-
Any thoughts on letting them do the top rail/side saddle/GG&g oversized release? I suppose its mostly aesthetic questions
-
It's the carriercomp DG parkerized tube. The H2O coating looks at least somewhat similar in color?
I like the idea of the NP3+...the cost is a bit off-putting, but the worst is the potential for issues. I don't really have the means to polish/test/fire/repeat in case they cause issues
NP3 Coating on Benelli M4
in Benelli
Posted
Pretty much every piece of metal I can find on the gun has been coated. It's hard to see but everything on the pistons appear to be coated as well as the inside of the end of the muzzle (last picture).
The threads on the carriercomp tube on both ends seem coated also, as well as the tube-spring-clam (which was black previously) appears coated now.
The follower was as well, it was an FFT Red.
