I'm sure this question has been asked and answered, but I did a search and had no luck finding the answers.

I have a #5 that has been "toyed with" to say the least. I have done a lot of work getting it back to something resembling how it was when in military use. Now, I am in the metal finish stage which will complete my rifle (will post pics when complete). I have had the metal parked or phosphated, now I need to apply the "paint". I am no Enfield expert, but I know they were originally finished with something called Suncorite (not sure of spelling). Since Suncorite is not something that I have access to, I was wondering if there is any product availabe in Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc... that comes close to the properties I am looking for. I can mail-order if need be, but would rather not.

What say the experts?
