Armory Kote is a propitiatory black coating that Springfield Arms applies to their high-end production and Custom Shop 1911 pistols. It is reportedly quite durable and corrosion resistant, and has been described in online forums to be more durable than the comparable Black-T coating. It is presumably slightly more scratch-prone than the ceramic Ceracote surface treatment, however, it will not flake off and "spiderweb" if the surface is damaged because of it's more ductile nature. Two of the models that feature the coating are the Tactical Response Pistol (TRP) and the Professional Model.

What is your question??
First you have to determine what kind of "Springfield" you have. It could be a US military arm from the Springfield Armory dating to sometime before the Civil War or a new sporting arm from Springfield, Inc., but most likely it is a shotgun made by J. Stevens Arms or the Stevens Division of Savage Arms.
