You won't have any problems with reloading the brass, except for when you notice the headstamp is pounded pretty flat, the odd case might split on you. But that is 15 to 20 reloads down the road and you'll probably find that you can only find your cases about 10 times for reloading.
I think I've seen maybe 2 split cases in about 150K of reloads through my M13

Enjoy.

Thats way cool, and quick turnaround! What type of finish is NP3? spray on or plating or?

The wood grips sure make it look nice.

Thanks! As I understand it, the NP3 is a plating, but not "electroplating." There is teflon in with the nickel and the gun should run fine dry and clean up with a simple wipedown except for the barrel and piston. I am anxious to get it back to range. It fits quite well in my G17 holster.

A buddy of mine did the whole nickel teflon deal with his M16, bolt carrier, assembly and the receiver. He can shoot a whole bunch of dirty Wolf on full auto, and then just pretty much wipe the parts down with a towel.
