    Parkerizing and solder

    I vaguely remember reading a how-to article that listed a certain type of solder that could be parkerized over. I know that anything with lead or silver in it will not work but can't seem to find any info on how the tin/antimony solders react to parkerizing procedure. Anybody know?

    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.

    personally, i havent found one yet , that will hold, and take color,
    if you have some showing, you can touch it up with beachwood caseys Ultra black pen.
    just a dapp will do.

    Depending on the type of solder you may try Caswells metal black.

    If it is silver solder just hit it with silver nitrate and it turns black chemically.
