The barrel on my Quality HMC has very light stamping. You have to look in bright light to read "Underwood, 12-43, (ordinance bomb)" I emailed Tim Shufflin (Shuff's Parkerizing) about this, and he said in re-Parkerizing, "You will lose metal on the order of about two tenths the thickness of a human hair." My question is, if the Parkerizing obliterates the markings in whole or part, have I devalued the carbine? I would think it would. Can anyone who has re-Parkerized a very lightly stamped carbine barrel or other part tell me how it worked out? Thanks.
