Even then, after blasting, i'm not really a fan of the parkerizing look. You can mess around with different amounts of zinc and manganese in the mix to get it darker (preferential imho) but it still doesn't look as good as bluing. Just my 2c

I will reluctantly admit (I am Bubba!) that I have actually stripped, sanded, sandblasted with Alum. Oxide, zinc-Parkerized, and Gun-Koted (matte black) a Luger that was pretty badly pitted. The Parkerizing and GunKoting do not destroy the markings but they do hide imperfections somewhat. The bore (good bore) was plugged with the rubber plugs from Brownells when I parked it. I only parked the frame, receiver and sideplate, but I did GunKote the toggle train. I am still planning to straw the appropriate parts. If I was to do it again, I would use the gun-metal blue Gun-Kote. It now has a super tough, pretty-good looking finish and is a great shooter.
I had originally tried the Brownells Dichropan IM on it but I didn't like it. On my next project, I am going to give the Rust bluing a try. -Chuck |
