Blackstone Coating

Let us introduce to you BLACKSTONE. Our proprietary coating developed for Law Enforcement, Military, and Original Equipment Manufacturers. Blackstone is a very durable coating when used on exterior firearm components. The coating also adds a layer of protection to your firearm such as weather, corrosion, and general use. When Blackstone is used on the interior components, it acts as an anti-friction coating. Self Lubricating, Blackstone improves over time, rather than diminishes in quality.
