     I was looking thru Robar's web site a while ago and noticed something I hadn't seen before. They say that when you have the gun finished in NP3 or NP3plus that you should should lube the gun as usual for the first 2 or 3 hundred rds. Kind of a "break-in period". After that you only need to lube a couple places. I really don't understand how you can break something in if it isn't wearing. Oh well, I'll mention it to them next time I talk to them. Back to waiting, more later.    Gene

Gene,
  I have maintained my normal lube procedure (sparingly) and have passed the 200rd. mark since having the pup Robared. The thing I like is the ease of cleaning. most everything just wipes off with a dry cloth.

Same here, very light lube for my two: P7 and 1911.  Had them done at the same time and it took just at 8 weeks.

The pup took 6 weeks, which is the time they quoted me.

That's good to know.  Sounds like they're right on schedule.

     Update on the P7.... got an email from MacTec and a snail mail from Robar today. MacTec said the Nill grips had shipped and would be here in 3-5 days. The mail from Robar was an order confirmation form. It confirmed that my gun was in their possession and "the work is scheduled for processing". Their estimated time of completion Dec.23, but they stressed that that was only an estimate. I hope to have it home for Christmas. ;D They also gave me a list of work to be done and an estimated price. I kinda like the way they do business.     Gene

     Well, the Nill grips showed up in the mail yesterday, and once again the USPS did it's best to hose me. This time they didn't succeed. The box for the priority mail (which you buy at the post office) was crushed almost flat. It looked as tho it had been either stepped on or run over by something heavy. Fortunately MacTec had wrapped the grips pretty well in heavy wrapping paper and they survived. I guess this just proves that no matter how incompetant you are if you have a government monoply any organization can survive. Oh well, rant over, the grips are safe. Now I can go back to waiting on the gun. Happy holidays everyone.        Gene

Happy holidays, Gene.  Glad the grips made it to your mailbox.  Hope the gun comes soon.
