I get along with Ron but few do but they do good work. He is just ever so slightly abrasive. Ron and I barreled one of my M-14's one day and put the rest of it together in the shop, he is a wealth of knowledge on M-14's and other rifles. I worked his booth at the SAR show one year. I am kind of like him in some ways meaning I can be a a**hole. They do nice parkerizing though.

They do awesome work, I would never discount the quality of the work. Ron is just a bit abrasive to people, which rubs some folks wrong.338lapua wrote: ↑June 29th, 2018, 2:49 pmI get along with Ron but few do but they do good work. He is just ever so slightly abrasive.

Re: Need some parts Parkerized - Suggestions?
I did an AK years ago that came out pretty good. I used the Magnesium powder from a couple D size Alkaline batteries and some Ospho solution from Ace hardware-
I can't find the exact one I used but there are several formulas out there on the net...
I used a BBQ grill and a 50 cal ammo can. I made a trough for the barrel from a piece of pipe. Used coat hangers to suspend things.
The hardest thing was keeping the temperature consistent and hot enough.
