    Touch Up Parkerizing

    Pardon for so many questions. I have just started to clean up and do some minor restoration to several of my carbines. Retired so have lots of time on my hands. Is there any such thing as touch up parkerizing, similar to touch up blue? Thanks for your help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Not really. Blast it, heat up the tank, and repark.

    It's a lot of work and cost for a small part or two. I have seen guys use Alumablack. Some just use a sharpie pen. Most let it lie.

    If its original finish you don't want to refinish or touch up.
