Gunsmithing Black Teflon

Re: Black Teflon

Depending on the cost my understanding is that Ionbond is much more durable but also offers corrosion resistance and lubrication properties. It's also not nearly as thick of a coating as BlackT is.

It's been awhile since I had anything with Black Teflon on it though so perhaps they have improved it. That said if it's the choice between Black T and blued I'd take Black T every time.
 
Re: Black Teflon

Birdsong's Black-T and a black teflon finish are not the same. I looked at Dakota's site and they just refer to a black teflon finish - not Birdsong's Black-T. As such, it should wear as well as any other painted finish such as Gun Kote or Aluma-Hyde.
