Anybody Finished a Rifle in Robar NP3 or NP3 Plus?
      17/07/12 03:46 PM

After a "false start" with the OEM and almost a year of waiting for my gunsmith & Danny Pedersen to get done working their magic, the 9.3x62 barrel assembly for my Empire Rifles takedown is mechanically complete (re-bored & re-chambered, iron sights regulated, scout scope base mounted). Last thing to do after I pick it up Wednesday is get the new assembly finished.

Originally I planned to have a Cerakote finish applied; this is what was originally on the rifle and it would be the least expensive option to get everything completed.

But I keep toying with the idea of getting the entire rifle- both barrel assemblies and all action components- finished in NP3 Plus. Now would be the time to do it since Robar is running a pretty good special that would save me ~$250.

I like the more traditional black finish but in my experience Cerakote isn't particularly durable. Anyone have experience doing an entire rifle in NP3 or NP3 Plus? Any downside in going this route?
