I'm going to be getting a bolt and knob coated and I've read that this is basically the coating to get, but that it has something of a shiny appearance. Can anyone post pictures of their items that they had coated in Black-T?

I have a sample kit from birdsong. The color is not shiny. Looks nice

Black-T isn't shiny but it does have a slight sheen to it that is most noticible when off-axis light strikes the surface. Also, keep in mind that <span style="font-style: italic">regardless of what type of coating the knob is coated with</span>, the bolt knob itself may become slightly less matte in appearance from rubbing and handling - even hard chrome plate does this.
I don't have any bolts coated in all Black-T, but below are some photos of tools coated in Black-T.
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Red Tac Gear LT Tool Pack Version III w/Black-T-coated wrenches:</span></span>
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Shortened, Black-T-coated Craftsman wrenches:</span></span>
Also, if you haven't already changed the bolt knob, and/or you've changed it and are having clearance issues between the bolt knob and the scope ocular bell or any part of your hand, I highly recommend that you have <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">monteboy84</span></span> install a Tac Ops Bolt Knob Conversion. The TOBKC is the best thought-out and executed aftermarket bolt knob around, but it IS NOT a DIY install. Check-out <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">fastford</span></span>'s <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"bolt handle conversion on a remminton factory bolt"</span></span> thread for my replys and details. My post shows the one and only correct way to install a Tac Ops Bolt Knob Conversion.
