Parkerizing?
I want to redo Parkerizing on one of my rifle.
But I have no idea where to go. Or what to look in to.
I know that there are Manganese based parkerizing and Heavy Zinc based parkerizing, but thats about all i know.
What I want is that old US military look - sort of greenish parkarizing(olive drab?) type of color, similer to some M1 Garand during WWII like below
Can someone points me to the right direction(or right place)?Audemus jura nostra defendere

Re: Parkerizing?
I reparked 3 garands which have turned slightly green, I used WD40 for the dewatering agent and then dunked the parts in gear oil and then coated with cosmoline. I didn't do any barrels, as I installed new ones. I would take a picture, but the rifles are currently crated for my move. I think the park kit I used was radiocy, or something similar. Be aware, you really need to park right after bead blasting. Make sure to use glass beads, not sand or slag. Otherwise you will loose the sharp parts and details.
