The end of NP3 for end users at Wright

[Dkay67]

Looks like the last batches of the 10-15 deadline are are about to return.

Updated today my parts are back and some reassembly to finalize.

Nice, my batch there still says they're in process. Hopefully we'll see some movement soon.

? exciting. Can’t wait to see new pictures.

Mine came back as well.  Latest status, "Needs to be packaged and shipped out"  (as of today)

My estimate was pretty close I was thinking last week at the latest.

My batch still isn't showing up yet. Here is what I have in the process. I do all the tear down and reassembly.

[D'zaster]

Wow!! Looking forward to see it completely assembled.

I just received and paid my invoice for return shipping.  It was a little stiff but I know it's insured at least.

The good news is it looks like they dumped FedEx and are now using UPS.  Years ago FedEx was my preferred.  Now they are a complete horror show.

Wright delivery day.  Overall things look pretty good.  A couple minor concerns but nothing that shouldn’t be manageable.

Will they re-do the troubled areas? 

I'm still waiting on my parts, sitting waiting for assembly or something like that

Generally they are pretty good about correcting issues if it’s their fault.  Sometimes you have to stay on them to get a response because they appear to be a busy shop.

All is good.  I thought there was an issue with the extractor roll pin but I think it’s all good.

Unfortunately they always destroy the firing pin retaining pin o ring.  I have a few extra so I should be ok.

The finish on the bolt face isn’t as smooth as last time.  Maybe they didn’t prep it properly before plating but it’s just going to get dirty anyway.

I love unwrapping fresh NP3.  Too bad this will be the last time for the foreseeable future.

With this being the “end” I wonder how warranty stuff will be handled down the road if something flakes or delaminates.  Although I’ve never seen NP3 do that.
