Hey guys,
Has anyone had dealings with the Birdsong company that does the Black-T coatings? I know that Walter has passed  , but his son was continuing the company as far as I know.
Anyway, I talked to a couple of people there by phone and by email about a month ago, and they were all quick to return my emails and quick to answer the phone. According to Susan, the woman I talked to, they will coat anyone's gun, even civilians. And I have heard that Black-T is one of the upper-tier gun finishes, up there with NP3. So, since they were easy to communicate with, and I had a Glock treated with Black-T about 6 years ago, I went ahead and sent my AR to them to do the same. The problem - I shipped the gun in the second week of June, and since then, no one at Birdsong's has returned my emails or even answered the phone! I don't mean to hurry them along, I just want to know if they have my gun, and that they are still in business, and plan to ship my gun back to me. 
So, I guess my question is - does anyone have any idea what is going on there? Are they just REALLY busy, or are they out-of-business? (Like I said, they were definitely in business as of the first week of June). Or, alternatively, does anyone know another way of getting ahold of them? Thanks a lot. |
I have had two coated there. Took about 12 weeks to get them back. They sure are slick. I remember Walter was a real character and would talk your ears off. He told me that if I ever have a weapon freeze up in cold weather to just piss on it and get back in operation. 
A little pee ain't gonna hurt my finish. |
