Can it be done at home cheaply? I have seen some of those huge (and expensive) kits for manganese phosphating your guns in the Brownell's catalog, but is there a simpler way?

Instructions and everything required can be purchased from Brownells.

Ask them for a copy of the instructions and read through them. These instruction will give you a real good idea on how it is done and the diffaculty.

You will need a stainless steel pot big enongh for the parts and it can be done on a kitchen stove.

Parkarizing is really not a difficult process. The solution is expensive and you must be careful with the prep work, but beyond that...very simple. Dump the part in and watch it cook.
