[QUOTE="jeromebill7718, post: 3246873, member: 11307"] The rifle was a chromed funeral rifle from the VFW. It was a barreled receiver when I got it. It had a 1903 stock. I rusted the chrome off the receiver and need it parkerized. I also have a NOS barrel. I didn't want to rust the chrome off because the inside is rusted from firing blanks and not cleaning it besides, not even I have that much time. It takes a while to remove chrome with vinegar and hydrogen peroxide and then sand that rust off to a nice shine as I don't own a bead blasted. I need 1. barrel removed 2. receiver parkerized, probably at Schiff's for $75.00 3. new old stock barrel installed and finish reamed to accept a go gauge for $75.00 from CMP. Barrel is Manganese phosphate parkerized and I'm researching if the receiver should be zinc or Manganese parked because it is a mid 1943 serial number. Mind you that this started as a barreled receiver and all parts are black parked or blued from the manufacturer Remington etc. The only thing that isn't Remington is a Bonnie forge bolt. A NOS Remington is big bucks for me. I needed a new bolt because of the new barrel, besides, everything else is new so why not. BF bolts were purchased as castings and machined by Springfield during the manufacturer of the 1903a3...don't know what they used in the 1903 because I haven't researched it yet. Thanks I hope that will give you sufficient knowledge to help me find someone to remove the barrel and park the receiver. Removing the barrel is like removing the glass from a car before painting it inside and out. It's a small detail but if it's found out you didn't do it then you could be the butt of many jokes. I'm replacing the barrel anyway so it has to happen at some point and mailing a receiver is cheaper than mailing a barreled receiver. Thanks again in advance. [/QUOTE]
