Good parkerizing source

[ilcop22]

Howdy,

I'm in the market to reparker my SA 1942 M1 Garand. It's a CMP Service Grade Garand. Most of the original finish is gone (90%+ worn), so it's time to bring her back to beauty school. I've been looking around at some online sources, prices ranging from $125 to $170+. I'd rather not send it away without a solid recommendation. Does anyone have first hand experience with a 21st century parker firm? What I mean by that is preferably someone with a website I can navigate to, not just a phone number and address. You can say I'm from Missouri - The show me state.

Thanks in advance.

I have a beautiful SA M1 that was reparkerized by Fulton Armoury in Maryland. Phone number is/was 301-490-9485. You might want to call them, I don't know what they charge now as my M1 was done several years ago. They also "match built" aDCM H&R M1 for me many years ago. Don't let anyone tell you that an M1 trigger cannot be tuned to give a crisp let off, Fulton gave mine a trigger that was a piece of glasss on the let off at 4 1/2lbs.

Now that you mention it, I had Fulton Armory refinish one of my CMP Garands years ago. They also did a basic tune-up at the same time. Just looked and they charge $175 to refinish one now.

You could ask on the CMP forum. From the home page go to Sales, there is a link there to the forum.

Tim Shufflin from the M-14 Firing Line Forum did this rifle for me. I haven't been on that forum for a long time so I don't have his Web Site address, but it shouldn't be hard to find. He also did a trigger job and recrowned the barrel.[http://castboolits.gunloads.com/imagehosting/thum_218024f4ecb2b83f10.jpg (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=4192)http://castboolits.gunloads.com/imagehosting/thum_218024f4ed406377e1.jpg (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=4193)http://castboolits.gunloads.com/imagehosting/thum_218024f504ed868945.jpg (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=4199)

Thanks for the recommendation, Arceagle. I had been looking at his website to get the work done, and your pictures have helped me decide. Much obliged.

I had some things done by him several years ago. Super fast turn around and super job. Gtek

+1 for Tim Shufflin...he does awesome parkerizing and fast turnaround

[Le Loup Solitaire]

+1 on Fulton Armory. They have been around quite a while and specialize in anything that could ever be done to a Garand. No idea on current prices; best to call them. Another legend in the Garand world is "The Garand Man"...aka Tony Pucci out on Long Island N.Y. Phone number or e-mail address/website; you'ld have to do some searching and contact him for prices etc. His work is simply great. LLS

Shuff is one of the better known ones on the CMP board.
He is highly recommended.

I live in Brownsville, Texas and am deep into the shooting community. I have never hear of that outfit. I will have to do some checking around.

We have a couple of part time people who pass themselves off as gunsmiths, but I would not let them work on a Daisy BB gun. The nearest real gunsmiths are in Corpus Christi, 140 miles North.

Ther is/was an outfit in BrownWOOD, Texas that did Parkerization called Texas Armament Co.

+1 on Shufflin or try Dean's Gun Restorations....in Tn if that is closer...good work also
