In the past on a screw build, I 1) assembled without loctite, 2) test fired 3) disassembled 4) parkerized 5) painted 6) reassembled with loctite I'm contemplating a rivet build and wondered what other rivet builders have done. Has anyone riveted the trigger guard on and then parked? |

I assemble the TG/MC and trunion and stock block, then have the reciever parked. The thickness of the parkerizing is not thick enough to effect anything. The parkerizing is in the surface of the metal, not on the metal. Then I install the barrel and complete the build. Edited: Hmmm, I didn't think about the paint. I've never painted a receiver. |

WK1234, that is correct, I parkerize the whole receiver, trunions and all, inside and out and have had no problems putting the barrel back in. If a guy wanted to paint over the park, he could stick a cork in the trunion hole and paint the receiver exterior. You don't see the inside of the reciever when the rifle is assembled and the inside is protected by the park anyway. Now you guys have got me thinking. Were the original receivers painted? Maybe I'll paint one of mine, although the parked receivers, on mine, match pertty well. |
