Continual improvements of our product lines are important to us and we strive to provide the best possible product to our consumers. With that, we’ve made a decision to make a small change to our TL3 and SR3 product line going forward. We have decided to change the finish of our bolt bodies from a CrN finish to a Nitride finish.
Over time, we have played with different finishes and coatings on bolt bodies, bolt heads and receiver bodies. We’ve also played with different combinations of those finishes and coatings within each other. Within our two lines of actions, we mixed a couple parts together and found that the best feel was achieved with a Nitride finished bolt body on all of our receivers.
The change will present an aesthetic difference on our TL3 and SR3 actions. Receivers will still be offered in the white (blasted stainless) as well as DLC coated. The combinations produce an appealing look in both receiver options and the function has, in our opinion, improved with enough margin to make the change.
This is going to be a fluid logistical situation so bear with us. We need to move current inventory of bolt bodies before we get to the new finish. The change will start immediately with LONG ACTION RIGHT HAND actions. Any LA RH that is on order with us and not delivered at this point will be delivered with the new bolt body in it. Next will be SHORT ACTION RIGHT HAND actions. Some of the orders on hand right now will get the CrN finished bolts. When inventory of those bolts is gone, we will begin using Nitride finished bolts. Following the LA RH and SA RH bolts will be the SA LH and finally LA LH bolts.
Any product that is in the wild with CrN finish CANNOT be Nitrided. Repeat: CrN FINISHED BOLTS CANNOT BE REFINISHED WITH NITRIDE!!!
Please allow us some time to implement the change completely. If there are questions or concerns regarding current orders, please reply to your order confirmation to address them. We are committed to providing everyone with the best possible product we can and strive to achieve 100% satisfaction.
Thank you for your continued support of our products!
