Cost of Parkerizing?

[Red Dawg]

Hey, guys.

Out of curiousity if I wanted to get individual gun parts (more so a Garand action), how much would it cost roughly? Haven't gotten things re-finished before but may have to. Help?

IIRC Armco will do an entire pistol for about $175.

That includes normal stripping and refinishing.
Your part sounds to be much less than this.

do it yourself, cost you less than 50 buck in chemicals to do more than one gun, I ahve done my bren, several 1911s and loads of parts i have also done my garand action, barrel and all the bits and pieces, its not hard at all, and once oyu are set up should take about an hour from start to finish, normally 45 min. You jsut need a good quality stainless steel tray.

Hunter and others would surely beg to differ. Can be done cheaply and without special stainless utensils.

Is the info readily available on this?
I've got an 870 I'd love to do, but was hesitant.
I do have access to a bead blaster.
Thanks.

Enamelware and pyrex vessels of the correct size should also work.

*I was told by a parkerizing solution vendor that longer barrels and actions could be done in PVC vessels with pre-heated solution.
