No 4 Mk1 (T) parkerizing
Have a BSA (T) I bought from a Canadian
source in 1967 .Everything seems kosher (scope , rifle ,scope can, transit chest). Only thing that I wonder about is that the rifle is parkerized. Seems to be unfired. Any info appreciated. Chest has CSS Calgary Vancouver stencil.

No problem.... 
Until you get a newer computer, if you can save those digital pics on your hard drive, then attach them to an email addressed to me at badger@milsurps.com, I'll host and post them for you in your threads for you. 
Regards,
Badger

Is the receiver a rough black oxide type finish or has the whole rifle been Parkerized? The original receiver finish was called Brunofixing and it appears like a rough black oxide. The barrel and other small parts will be blue. If the rifle is Parkerized a smooth dark green/brown finish including the small parts and barrel, it could be a CAL FTR. They used a manganese phosphate which is superb.

It's right as rain. It's a fact that no one has ever been able to duplicate the Brunofix finish so you know it's original and correct.

I forgot to mention that the Brunofix finish on the receiver/body of a BSA/H&H No.4T was implemented in 1944 through the end of production in 1945. Earlier rifles will have a light polish blue finish typical of BSA wartime rifle production.

Brian,
Would you mind elucidating us further on Brunofixing? How was it achieved etc - inquiring minds etc.
Best, Simon.

That's the interesting part. No one knows including people in England who have forgotten more about these rifles and their production than I'll ever Know. The good part is that no one has ever been able to duplicate it so if your rifle has it, you know darn well that it's original.
