Allen, I was digging through some of your old posts and you said you had Robar finish on your 300 Win. with the Hart barrel. Was that Roguard? Would you update and give some details? | ||

This obviously isn’t Allen, but I have three rifles finished with Roguard on the exteriors and Robars NP3 on the bolts and innards, and it is great stuff. I would especially recommend the NP3 on the bolt and innards because it impregnates the steel and needs little if any lubrication. Roguard comes is various colors and sheens but NP3 (last time I checked) only comes in a satin silver that looks like stainless steel. | |||

Rick, I assume you can mix and match the NP3 and the Roguard finishes. Just try to figure out here if the Roguard is the finish for stainless. PS. Hows your son doing? | |||

Hey, thanks for asking...he is doing real well and starting to get “short!†Robars NP3 is primarly used on parts that have close tolerance requirements because it has no build up and actually impregnates the surface. Roguard is used where a slight amount of build up isn’t all that important. Both finishes work on any type of steel. My rifles have matt-black Roguard on the receivers and barrels, and the bolt and all the innards have NP3 coating. That includes the extractor, ejector, sear, and cocking piece. All are Remington 700’s. I also had 10 M1A magazines coated with NP3 and they are slicker than snot on a door knob! | |||

Not yet, but he is starting to play hand ball off the street curbs! Seriously, he comes home in either late January or early February. | |||

When I was in we used to say that when a guy got down to less than 100 days he was a Two Digit Midget. | |||
