Should I parkerize or blue my barrels?
« on: December 26, 2011, 10:07:45 AM »
I blued my yoke on the carriage and it came out okay but I was wondering if I shouldn\'t parkerize my barrels to provide extra rust protections? I have all the equipment I need to parkerize them. Thanks!

Seems like a personal preference to me, there is some parkerizing talk in the d&e forum... I like blue personally!

Dave, I like blueing better also but I blued my rims on the wheels and I already have small rust spots. I just thought parkerizing would give the barrels more rust protection, especially here in Florida.
