Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Robar NP3 finish?

The Robar NP3 finish is a firearm coating consisting of an electroless nickel base impregnated with Teflon (PTFE). This combination provides exceptional hardness, durability, a slick surface for reduced friction, and excellent corrosion resistance.

How does the NP3 finish improve firearm performance?

NP3 coating reduces friction on internal metal parts, potentially increasing cyclic rates and improving trigger pull crispness. Its slick surface also makes the firearm easier to clean and maintain.

What is the corrosion resistance of the NP3 finish?

NP3 offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly against salt spray. Standard NP3 can withstand up to 200 hours of salt spray testing, while the NP3 Plus variant can last up to 1000 hours.

How much does the Robar NP3 finish cost?

The cost varies by application. Refinishing an AR-15 bolt carrier group typically costs around $115. A full pistol package, including internal parts, is approximately $199.
