Du-Lite Blued Carbines, Muzzle to Butt Plate

[Bruce McAskill]

So Parkerizing was a top secret process during WW2? Guess they forgot to tell companies like Eddystone who used it towards the end of WW1 on their rifles that it was top secret. Funny though is most parts on early carbines were all blued like barrel bands and of course all bolts. Guess bluing wasn't top secret at that time.

Every Stock set was ding free beautifully finished with nice crisp Cartouches and/or Crossed Cannon acceptance stamps.

They probably came from that mysterious cache that produces all-matching perfect condition K98k's and other items that are too good to be true.

He explained to me that my weapon had probably been through rebuild and at that time it was parkerized. He went on to explain that the Parkerizing process was so top secret that the government did not share the process with the manufacturers until the end of the war.

Well, he gets 10 out of 10 for chuzpe!
