    I can't be sure from the pictures if the Op Slide and Trigger housing were done. For now leave those alone. Though I suspect the Op Slide was Sprayed.

    Front sight pin was sprayed in place..... So the Bayo band was Sprayed. Recoil plate was Sprayed so it matched the Receiver color.
    You'll need to attack complete barreled receiver as a 'Unit' with Bayo band, Rear sight and Frt sight on.
    Leave Gas piston and nut screwed in place..... They get dipped as part of the complete 'Unit'.

    Test on Recoil Plate...... Muriatic Acid will strip the top coat, pull, rinse, neutralize following steps as described above.
    Only leave in Muriatic Acid until New Sprayed Park is dissolved away. Pull it immediately afterward so you don't pull Original Park.
    Report back on your results..... Then your ready for complete Barreled Receiver.

    It will work

    A guy told me he heard someone say they seen someone do this before
    Will do!!

    Dave: there is a difference between rebuild and upgrade. A rebuild was a complete strip down of the carbine with a check for wear and replacement of worn parts and a refinish if required. An upgrade was simply replacement of outdated parts to bring an older model up to date and usually did not involve replacement of worn parts or refinishing. Sometimes the upgrade did not even replace all out of date parts. It depended on what was available and on hand at the time it was done. Often that was done at the ord. level rather than at an arsenal. An upgrade usually did not replace original parts except for those actually being upgraded. That is why some carbine have almost all original parts except for the upgrades.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    It has been several months since I started this thread and I can now close it out. After numerous failed attempts to remove the coating on the metal parts, I finally broke down and followed Painter777's recommendation to contact Chuck at Warpath Vintage. He agreed to take on the project and I sent the parts to him. I retained the stock and after several cleanings with Hoppes #9, several days to dry out, and about 10 hand-rubbed coats of RLO, it turned out pretty nice. Chuck contacted me and confirmed that someone had painted a duracoat/cerakote substance on the metal and the only recourse was to remove it with a bead blasting. He advised he would parkerize and re-blue the parts. He then sent the gun back to me (after charging me an extremely reasonable price for the work!). Chuck called me and spent a good amount of time explaining the best way to break in and preserve the new finish. The finish on the parts is excellent other than it needs some "aging" which I am in the process of doing (as soon as I find some more .30 caliber ammo). Yes, I would have been happy with a crappy original finish consistent with a 1943 military surplus rifle, but since that wasn't going to happen, I figured the refurbishment route to return it to its "original" type finish was the next best thing. I now have an excellent example of a post-WW2 refurbished M1icon carbine that will have a long service life and hopefully be enjoyed by many of my friends. Thank you Painter777 and Chuck at Warpath Vintage for their guidance and work on this project!

    Looks so much better.
    Must have been a Baked coating by a previous owner.

    Chuck does great work....... When he isn't chasing Redheads

    Enjoy Singer,
    You deserve it !

    Happy ending! I think that the SP rebuild stamp looks cool up there. My NPM has an old beat up Inland I cut stock with an Underwood rebuild mark. It looks cool too.

    This is my Standard Products Carbine which appears to be of the "upgraded" type for comparison. All parts save the upgraded adjustable rear sight ,bayonet lug and if I remember right safety appear to be original per the reference materials I have .
    Appears to be lightly used.

    That is really pretty. The barrel and receiver appear to be the same color as the parkerizing job that Chuck applied to mine.

    A little off subject but. I ordered some RLO recently and will pull one out of the safe and hand apply a coat and replace. The RLO seems to be to penetrate better than the BLOicon I had always used. The SP in the photo shows the results.
