Yeah guys, I was wondering if anyone here on the forums would like to do this for me. I know ADCO can do it, and I just may end up going with them, but I thought I'd try finding someone who could get to it right away, and then ship them back out to me fairly soon too.
I realize ADCO is pretty good with turnaround times, but as stated, I thought I'd see if I could get it done quicker.
I normally like to do all my armorer/gunsmithing/etc work myself, in fact, I PREFER to do so 99% of the time. However, in this case, I no longer own a bead blasting cabinet, and I want these done right. Proper parkerizing is done only AFTER you bead blast the parts to be park'd.
Some guys skip this step, but the parkerizing job is much better if you do not skip the step. Bead blasting creates a very fine, porous surface, and that is what parkerizing likes.
Anyhow, I'll keep looking for someone, and if I don't find anyone soon, I'll ship them to ADCO. I'll probably end up doing that anyhow.
