I have Cerakote on a few rifles and Birdsong's Black T on a handgun. I believe Black T is the better finish.

Is Birdsong & Associates as they are now known, still doing the "T" finish for firearms? Their website still displays a price list from 2015, I tried contacting them via Facebook, several days ago, but no reply as of this morning.

Actually, Robar's NP3 PLUS is the very best finish there is. NP3 PLUS is many times more durable than anything else that's available. It's certainly not as durable as Melonite or whatever you want to call it. I have worked on too many Glocks over the years as well as dozens of NP3 treated duty weapons. Melonite is harder than anything but carbide and diamond, no dimensional change and doesn't rub off- ever. Comes in any color you want as long as you want black...

Melonite better than DLC?

Only because it is in the bore as well.
There are some other really good products out there that I haven't used like NiB-X and PVD coatings. Black nitride finish is the only one I know that is used INSIDE the bore.

I am building a rifle right now on a defiance action. Just chambered it a couple of days ago. I am going to have it black nitrided. I would like to have the bolt NP3 plated but don't want to wait for Robar to do it. I have one Defiance rifle so treated all ready and it has no rust or visible wear after many, many days afield in heavy brush and rock. I sure like it.
