Drinktothat421 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Hey. I wanted to get sone opinions on getting my M4 gas pistons coated in TiNi or anything coating i just perfer TiNi. I plan no getteing the bolt carrier coated at aome point but also want to do the pistons. Making them easyer to clean and more durable. Quote
M2_shootr Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Interesting idea, I have no idea on this but want to follow. Quote

Drinktothat421 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Posted January 3, 2018 I will post pics once i get it done. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 How thick of a plating is it? When I had Nickel Boron applied to a set of pistons, it increased their diameter and I was forced to fit them to the barrel assembly. My experience with NP3+ on the pistons has been better. I guess they're thinner of a surface finish. Quote
Drinktothat421 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Posted January 3, 2018 TiNi is vpd not like nickle boron plating. It is 1 - 2 microns thick. I know adding a coating could just make it not work. Haha Quote
