I have a nice '46 Fazerkly dated no. 5 and the finish is Suncorite over parkerization. S/N's are electro-pencil engraved on receiver, Mag & bolt.
If you want, drop by and have a look.

KDG said:I am restoring a Jungle Carbine and need to know what the original finish was on this rifle. Were they blued or did it have the Suncorite finish that is on my No4 Mk.2 ?

all the ones I've seen have been suncorite coated
Thanks guys
I figured it would have the Suncorite coating but all the others I have seen have been in rough shape so it was hard to tell. I started blueing all the small parts and it turned out great. I have the stripped barreled receiver to finish now.
Rich, I'll take you up on that offer! I have to swing by to get the op rods off of you anyway.
