Ok good to know. Your expertise is much appreciated.

Thanks for the heads-up on the final cost. And for your input on the adhesive sticking to NP3.

When I spoke w/ Wright Armory week before last a rough estimate was about $700-$800 but that included chemical stripping and disassembly/reassembly. I spoke to them on Tuesday but now I want to include aftermarket parts for NP3 plating, open up the loading port and reassemble w/ the aftermarket parts and I was told they would need to have everything there to give an estimate.

I take your point; thanks for the input.

I’m considering sending my M4 to Wright Armory to have it NP3 plated before the October 15th deadline. Does anyone know if sidesaddle shell carriers that use adhesive, such as EssTac or Aridus Industries, to attach the carrier to the receiver will stick to an NP3 plated surface? If not, can the NP3 be “prepped” some how to allow the adhesive to stick? I did a search and I can’t find any info on this topic. Obviously, I am running out of time if I want to get one of the last opportunities for NP3 plating. Any firsthand experience is greatly appreciated. TIA

She looks good and definitely looks like she has some bully breed in her. Good on you for adopting her. A lot of people won’t touch a dog w/ any pit bull breeding in them, which is too bad. They are wonderful dogs when properly bred, raised, trained and owned.

The charging handle is cool but what about your dog. He is a good looking boy. Is he a Dogo?

It sounds like your buddy did not give it any maintenance while it sat in his safe either. Field strip it, clean and lube it and it will likely solve your problems. Mr Gunsandgear has a video on this very topic. Good luck.

Thanks for the info; the loading port was nicely done!

Did Wright Armory install the aftermarket parts and open up the loading port? TIA
