The proposed changes to the Raptor will not render your "old" Raptor obsolete, but NiB coated parts of it, may assist with lubricity and wear. Nothing is set in stone as far as I know at this point, so no need to get too worked over it.
UW, I get all of that...problem with me is timing...would have loved for it to be NiB, but then again, I'm planning on disassembling it and getting it Cerakoted like the rest of the rifle. So, I guess I didn't miss out...
