Description
Electroless Nickel Teflon has continually proven to outperform traditional Anodizing and Phosphate coatings by leaps and bounds! The increased reliability, corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance make this upgrade a no-brainer.
PLEASE NOTE: These uppers are being sold at a discounted rate due to minor imperfection in the base metal. These imperfections are very common but are usually hidden when anodized. Nickel Teflon does not hide them as well. In no way shape or form will these blemishes affect functionality.
Features:
Forged & machined by Cerro Forge (Key Hole)
Machined From mil-spec 7075 T6 forging
M4 feed ramps
Proprietary electroless nickel teflon finish
100% increase in corrosion resistance compared to MIL-A-8625 hard coat anodizing
240% increase in lubricity compared to MIL-A-8625 hard coat anodizing
160% increase in lubricity over hard chrome
Nickel Teflon will buff out and produce polished spots on contact/friction points. When using a clamshell type receiver block, the contact points may cause slight discoloring on the exterior of the receiver. This of course is strictly cosmetic. However, if you’re trying to avoid discoloration then we recommend using a (pin type) receiver vise. The inside diameter for barrel extension is slightly undersized for a tighter fit to the barrel and a more accurate rifle.
Benefits:
- Run it longer and harder - Lubrication optional. If you decide to use lube you won’t notice when it dries up. The natural lubricity of Nickel Teflon has a much lower coefficient of friction than phosphate treated steel with lube applied.
- Lubricity and wear resistance - Lubricity plays an essential role in optimizing wear resistance and longevity. Nickel Teflon has a .05 Coefficient Of Friction (COF), creating a surface more slick than Anodizing, Hard Chrome or even Nickel Boron.
- Longevity - Has a Hardness of Rockwell 54. Guaranteed not to peal or flake
- Ease of maintenance - No scrubbing required. Carbon fouling literally just wipes off with a rag.
- Corrosion resistance - We apply a proprietary Electroless Nickel substrate with a higher than average phosphorus content, giving the coating a barrier that’s practically impenetrable by corrosion.

No sir, they're not blemished due to the coloring. they're blemished due to the small imperfections in the base metal. The electroless nickel teflon completely emulates the base metal, showing every little dink or scratch. Most would not consider these blems, we just have an extremely high standard.
There is nothing wrong with the color. Nickel Teflon is suppose to be a flag dark grey. The color hue can vary slightly from one bath to another but that is what Nickel Teflon looks like.
The metallic look your talking about in the picture is from the camera flash. You're actually the first person to express that they like the bright metallic look over the flat dark grey look. If that's what you like then that's what you like.
It's extremely difficult to control the hue of the finish but we intentionally try and finish them darker rather than brighter. However, by no means should the finish look "brownish". If you received a brownish looking receive please contact us so we can inspect it.
If you've seen any other Nickel Teflon or NP3 you'd know that the finish never has a bright metallic look.
I had never seen the nickel teflon before . I thought it was a close match to nickel boron . My fault for assuming that, without researching it . I think once you have the matching lowers avail , everything will be fine , and i can use the NB lower i have on something else
Not really , i would like it better if it was .its more of a brownish gray . and looks like plastic not metal . its a mile off of the nickel boron parts i ordered to go with it . and as far as feeling slick with no friction . i installed the Nickel Boron BCG and it for sure drags not smooth at all, the action feels rough , the movement feels rough . Don't get me wrong . the part fits very nice, exact tight fit in my lower , its just not what i was expecting and its not even close in color or LOOK of NICKEL BORON
Correct, Nickel Boron and Nickel Teflon have a very different look.
As far as the action not feeling smooth at all. I'd really like to personally inspect both the receiver and your BCG as this is the first time that we've ever heard of friction issues between Nickel Teflon and Boron. The BCG should literally slide in and out of the upper like butter. I'm willing to bet that there's another issue at hand.
The BCG could be out of spec.
You could be feeling friction from the buffer tube or even charging handle.
Although highly unlikely, you could even have an out of spec receiver. I'm not ruling anything out. Either way, we'd really like to figure it out.
If you can please send in the BCG that your using along with our receiver so we can trouble shoot. we can even send you a replacement Nickel Boron BCG of your choice to use in the meantime.
Please contact us at your earliest convenience. You can call the company number or my personal number below.

I have one. Love it. You won't regret it.
If I want to cerakote the exterior would it hold up?
Cerakote will not adhere to Nickel Teflon. You'd have to blast the exterior before applying cerakote. Make sure you protect the interior if blasting.
Is there any lower that would match this nickel Teflon finish/color?
Pretty much any Nickel Teflon or NP3 finish will match. We will be releasing a Nickel Teflon lower early next year.
I wonder how a TNarms poly lower in stealth grey would look on this..
Is the color the same as Nickel Boron?
It's a little bit darker, flatter and less reflective. Less of a metallic look and more of a dark flat grey
I want to order one of these but its always hit or miss
Huge ding or nothing at all. Not meaning anything is wrong with your products at all
The blemishes on these are almost unnoticeable. We hold our products to a very high standard. We won't sell anything with a huge ding without blatantly making it obvious and advertising as such.
If we're advertising something as "slightly blemished" it's because it's just barely beneath what we would consider a non BLEM
sorry I'm lazy. Do you make a ni-bo plated upper without the FA knob?
Mine was flawless and I got it in 2 days. Excellent company. I may get another for another rifle. I like the idea of running this with a nickel bcd and not worrying about oil. That would attract less grime.
Only a handful of the "blems" are still in stock. Non blems will be available in 1 week.
We had a set back with out Nickel Teflon BCG's but they should be ready in a few weeks.
Any updates on the nickel teflon BCG's? ETA? Price?
Have you guys noticed any issues running the bcd's with the nickel uppers oil free? Is it that risky?
No issues at all. Just like you stated, you'll attract less dirt and grime running it dry.
2 more dumb questions. How many rounds have you tested this way? Do both the bcg and upper need to be nickel teflon?
Hard to give you a concrete number off the top of my head but I'd say 40,000-50,000 rounds over the past few years. A majority of those rounds have been through AR's chambered in 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 (corrosive). We've tested just about every combination of BCG's and receivers finished with nickel teflon, nickel boron, anodizing and phosphate along with a few other types of specialty coatings.
Nickel teflon on nickel teflon has by far been the most reliable and provides for the easiest clean up. Although nickel teflon drastically increases reliability, nickel boron isn't very far behind it. Adding any Nickel Teflon plated component to the mix will increase reliability and functionality. Nickel teflon upper with nickel boron BCG works great but Nickel Teflon upper matched with a Nickel Teflon BCG is better.
With nickel on nickel, be it nickel boron or nickel teflon your BCG will slide in and out of your receiver like a hockey puck on ice. It really is amazing!!
I got mine and the small scratch under the ejector pad is only noticeable when you look for it. Its a nice piece.
Is the inscription on the side?
If not, I would be interested.
No, there's nothing engraved on the current batch. We'll be posting more pics soon.
We'll also be releasing our Nickel Teflon BCG's in the near future. They'll be released along with a 5,000 round count review. Of course, no lube and no cleaning!
Would be interested in a billet machined receiver.
Got mine today fast shipping. not a blemish that i can find ,finish looks perfect. My only complaint is the color does not look like the picture at all IMO , the picture in this post above looks more *BRIGHT* nickel metallic look , this upper looks like a brownish grayish coated upper , and not metallic looking at all . its **much** darker and grayer . I was hoping it was more of a color of Nickel . are these blemished due to their darker color ?
