Gunsmithing Robar NP3+ VS Birdsong Black-T

[Alderleet]

Hey all, i need some help deciding on a finish.

From reading on the web, birdsong and robar both come in at the highest for abrasion, chemical, salt, ect resistance of any finish i've looked at.

I'm now looking to refinish the parts on one of my milled AK's, and i want a tough as nails coating to go on. I also want to cover the internals, which prohibits most spray on finishes (KG,dura,cera)

If everything ended tomorrow, which finish would you rather have on your gun? Birdsong or Robar?

I've never used birdsong, but Robar NP3+ is some incredible stuff. I've used it on a number of guns.

Birdsong. But any finish depends largely on the applicator.

I don't have any experience with Robar, but I have a Birdsong on my 1911 (SA Pro) and it seems durable & looks nice too.

NP-3 seems to wear less for me. I like the Birdsong finish but it seems soft and wears faster.
