There are many reasons I like my Agency Arms handguard. I can mount a light bar extension on the Mlok and move my Modlite further forward decreasing shadowing, I can also add a pressure pad, a extra shell on the rail, and also have a hand stop mounted underneath via the mlock. My latest addition is a nano tool and holder to adjust my aimpoint red-dot sight.
Additionally I can add G10 scales, or use presently, bcm mlok rail covers for grip enhancement

Quite a mark up. As much as you’d think the trigger group would benefit from being plated, the performance gain is negligible.
Considering the cost of the housing from A&S in its standard configuration is $209-$219, I think the upcharge to $350 isn't all that stiff - when you consider the fees to process the metal before coating with NP3.
My extra charges from Wright for the stripping of the metal prior to np3 dip are in line with that upcharge for similar sized metal work
Of course there are economy of scale advantages, or perhaps FFT got an order of raw aluminum housings in to avoid the extra processing charges idk ?
As for performance gain - have you done trigger pull measurements if there was any drop in pull force? I'll be running a nearly full np3 conversion in the trigger assembly when it arrives, and while it may be subjective and hard to quantify it may have a smoother pull and operating function.
The other benefit would be to aesthetics to go with the Np3/H20 format - again a subjective beauty in the eye of the beholder measurement

Decent price for end users for a NP3 housing at Freedomfightertactical.com
$350 + shipping
Since Coating Technologies/Wright has closed off np3 to consumers, this is about the only way to acquire this coating for this excellent trigger guard enhancement

Yes, I'm aware of that section for checking. Still stuck at the 29th of Oct for last entry however.
Just checking to see if anyone else from that last minute entry window has seen a return notice yet

Thats interesting that they took a pic of them laid out. I didn't get that level of service, but I was only submitting miscellaneous parts for the bolt & carrier, the Argo system, and other moving parts for my M4.
Mind if I see how they sent that pic layout?
-
Anyone receive any updates the past week on their orders with Wright?
Mine still showing no documented change since 10/29 Processing note

Certainly not field strip friendly.

I'm in that same batch ?. Waiting after the 8 weeks has been painful

These are available again, short supply however

Thats a great deal. Way under valued imo for the upgrades you get as well as the custom port modifications by SD.
This is a steal

Doesn't exist with the easy field strip parameter

My M4 currently disassembled while waiting for parts to return from Np3 coating, but can show the basic setup of my WML
Handguard - Agency Arms Mlok
Lightner extension - TRex Arms made by Arisaka
Light - Modlite
Pressure Switch- Unity Tactical

It is over-priced, but much like everything else Benelli branded is.
It's a nice kit, but you're paying a premium for the Benelli name

If people seen what they pay for them .They would be shocked.Mybuddie is a Leo dealer .So I see the prices
You are more likely getting LEO prices because he's your buddy than any other factor.
Stop playing "shop a LEO dealer" card because hardly any of those with an authorized Benelli agreement will risk having that yanked for violation
You're in a fortunate position, that's all.

He’s getting greedy thats all.When Benelli hasn’t raised there prices to Leo dealers
Greedy? I disagree.
The cost of everything is rising due to inflation. If he has seen what other secondary markets will bear for these C-stocks then he has every incentive to maximize his profit.
Not everyone can get law enforcement special pricing

Benelliparts.net has a pre-order starting again
I've purchased before from him and be shipped the stock
Price is lower than you'll typically find online, ymmv

It is staked in place. Easiest route is just to just buy the pin and block. If you remove the pin it will basically be worthless if you sell it.
Thank you, depending on how/what StrangerDanger says in my follow-up, I think that this is the path ill take to save on some equipment buys and labor hassle

That pin is a bitch, but it is possible to remove. Some are worse than others depending on how overzealous Benelli got when staking around the ends of the pin. Plan on busting punches and definitely wear eye protection since punches are quite energetic when they fragment under hammering.
Another issue is the pin is such a small diameter that you can't really deliver a lot of hammer force to the pin without risking bending the punch. I did buy a set of short punches to get the pin moving. I've still broken these little punches fighting with that pin. I've broken tons of Starrett punches on that bastard. I usually use a 12 ounce brass hammer.

I've found the best way to drive it out is to clamp the rear sight housing into a padded vice on the sides of the housing. That way the pin is horizontal above the vice jaws and you can hammer on it going against the jaws. If you're hammering in a direction that will allow the housing to pivot in the jaws, you'll never get it out. Once the pin drifts a small amount, you can then switch to a longer punch to finish driving it out.
Getting the pin back in is much easier than getting it out. It will still be retained tightly by the staking present on the housing, so the risk of it falling out is almost non-existent.
Thanks @StrangerDanger.
I think I'm going to go the route that Doge suggested above and just buy the loose pin and elevation block from MGW. Less work and physical hassle.
(As well as cost of a vise, hammer, and several punches to destroy in the process)
On the installation of the new block and pin, any suggestion on the staking so that the new NP3 isn't marred too badly on either side being staked, or is there any other suitable way to secure the pin such as a JB weld McGyver hack.
-
Is there a special tool needed to remove and replace the pin highlighted in the attached pictures?
I am transferring the sight elevation and windage into a NP3 coated version and my block/pin/hammer isn't cutting it for pressing it out.
Any help from the gunsmiths in the forum to point on right direction or helpful tips?
Thanks

Todd has both np3 and the oem black finish recoil tube kits available at the link above
#2. Oem black
#4 np3

Looks horrible with that Carlson breaching choke, imo. Too cramped, aesthetically.
The textures are all over the place too.
The Nordic is the way to go
