I decided to take the plunge. I have a few firearms that I've wanted to refinish. I also recently picked up a couple of new 30 Cal carbine barrels that are in the white for my IBM & Winchester receivers (another project thats been on the back burner). So today I tried my hand at parkerizing.
I picked up a homely looking Remington 870 Wingmaster a while back that had a bunch of rust pitting on the receiver from being left in a damp gun case. I'm kicking myself for not getting before pictures, it was in a sad state. Needless to say the blueing was toast. I've been wanting to try my hand at parkerizing for a while, so I picked up parkerizing set up. Cleaned it up in the sandblaster to get rid of the rust, pitting, and what was left of the blueing. I got finish to pretty much blend in, and managed not to do any harm to the roll markings or s/n. I was jut playing around with this setup today, so I only did the receiver and some small parts. Picture could be a little clearer. The little discoloration on the receiver is where the oil is thicker. I've got to say I think it turned out pretty darn good for a first attempt
