[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3960892, member: 25419"] I've done a few. I bought the Parkerizing solution from DuraCoat. You use distilled water and solution, drop in some degreased steel wool to get it "activating" (at or near boiling) I used a big stainless cook pot to do this. For the barrel I used a piece of 3 or 4 inch PVC and glued a cap on one end. This I put in a five gallon bucket and put a bunch of gravel in the bucket to stabilize the PVC tube. Poured the hot solution in, then suspended the plugged barreled action in the solution. It works fast enough that the solution stays hot long enough. I parked my M1 Garand and my boy's SKS. Both turned out fantastic. Getting the metal prepped correctly is key. [/QUOTE]
