PARKERIZING OR PHOSPHATIZING

There are two baisc types that I use. The price is the same for either type

Unlike hot blueing, barrels are plugged before parkerizing, as parkerizing is a coating, not a stain. Parkerizing adds dimension and a rough finish-neither of which we want in a barrel. Guns are dis assembled, stripped of old finish, bead blasted, then Parkerized within two hours of blasting. Any longer wait may result in an uneven finish.

ZINC PHOSPHATE Dark gray color similar to the WWII finish on military guns. To get the green overtones often seen on vintage Parkerized guns, coat with grease or Cosmoline, let set as long as you can, then wipe off.

MANGANESE PHOSPHATE Black color as seen on modern guns. It's been my experience that formulas that claim to offer both gray and black in the same can, depending on how long you leave the gun in the solution, don't give you a true black color. You really need both zinc and manganese based formulas to do the job right.
