I am not sure what specific color is "Birdsong" OD, but
if you go to www.bravocompanyusa.com and then go to the refinishing photo page - the first couple of pictures are a OD carbine. |

Don't have a pic of the OD on an AR, but if it is anything like the Birdsong Black-T, it is worth the $ and the wait. Have it on my SA 1911, and it is very durable along with being good looking. IMHO. (I do believe his OD finish is on a SW revolver as available direct from SW)

pupp86:
Yep, I'm talking about Birdsong Black T finish, except in OD Green. I called him up today and he went over the properties of his Black T finish. To say that I was impressed is an understatement, but I guess that's why the FBI, the military, and a slew of other federal agencies have begun to send their weapons to Birdsong. From what he states, you don't even have to use lube anymore once this finish is applied; you can if it'll make you feel better, but it's not necessary. At any rate, I was thinking about going with OD Green on my AR, so I wanted to see what that would look like...any pics will be appreciated. |

urban,
I am considering the exact same finish. If you happen to get any more info on it, would you mind emailing me? Thx, Dawg. |

Wilson claims also that their finish reduces friction, but I still believe that they use lubricant.
Here are some pics of a wilson combat in OD green armor tuff finish, the closest I could get to birdsong! Looks sick doesn't it? This is a special model with the RAS system.

I dont have a pic of an ar. I do of a couple handguns and a shotgun and a rifle if you want.
Ive tested a few ar-15 with green-t and black-t. I did not like it and dont recommend it. the finish didnt wear well on the ar lower. I luv the finish on my para-ord and my 870. |

Was it a BIRDSONG finish? How did it not "wear well on the ar lower"? And, are you saying the finish took better on the pistol and the shotgun? |

MurdochsM4: Thanks for the pic! It does look nice. I don't know how good the Wilson compares to the BIRDSONG BLACK T or OD GREEN finish, though. To tell you the truth, I think I heard it wasn't as good. Anyone?
