Just ordered this upper then realized it was phosphate coated not nitride.
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar15-16-mid-length-parkerized-5-56-nato-1-7-13-5-m-lok-free-float-upper-no-bcg-or-ch.html Would this make a suitable range gun/carbine class/recreational 3gun upper? I have an older DPMS Oracle that is phosphate coated for about the past 5 years and have put around 1500-2000 rounds through it and it has treated me just fine. Really like the longer handguard, they have an option for nitride with a shorter handguard for slightly less. Should I cancel and reorder? Getting a premium bolt carrier group from them as well. |
| My rule is if it bothers you, try and return it! But I do think it will do just fine. If you want to bench shoot it for groups maybe nitride would be better. Also I'd buy a nickel boron coated bcg; the slick lubricity is awesome. I bought one of their premium bcg's and it feels like im rubbing a 2x4 piece of wood. |
Bought the same upper 2 weeks ago in Keymod. Ran great first time out of the box with my Franklin Armory BFS3 trigger. No info on accuracy yet as I haven't tried. Mine was a blem with a tiny 1/16th inch scratch I fixed with a black Sharpie
