Im happy to announce that Ive reached an agreement with the folks at Ion Bond.
I can now offer Ion Bond Diamond Black on firearm parts.
The color is a matte/satin black finish. Its ideal for tactical applications.
This is a finish that does not wear quickly like black oxidized finishes do -- it will stay black.
I cant think of another finish Id rather have on any of my guns, period.
The finish is generally 2 microns thin. This is not a conventional coating that adds thickness to the material;
this is a micron level coating, which is an excellent fit for custom fit guns.
Ionbond’s unique application process makes it a finish that does not chip, crack or peel as it is a micron level coating.
The DIAMONDBLACK Ionbond finish is 1500-2000 HV. Typical hard chrome finishes are generally 1050 HV and melonite is in the 700 HV range.
The finish is not "self-lubricating", but it has excellent surface to surface characteristics and several competitive shooters run their Ion-Bonded guns dry.
Ionbond absorbs oil and releases it over time due to the unique characteristics.
Ionbond also reduces the friction coefficient on the coated parts. Steel on steel has a typical friction coefficient of .7;
Steel on IonBond has a typical friction coefficient of .25; Ionbond on Ionbond has a typical friction coefficient of less than .2.
It makes parts a lot more “slippery” and does improve the performance of parts that wear on each other.
PM or email for firm price quotes.
Bare auto slides will run about $125
bare frames $140
Barrels $45
pistol magazine tubes $25
small parts (levers, safeties,etc) $10
Multiple items will get a discount.
Turnaround will typically run 4-6 weeks.
