Damn, I wish BWE was still around, he was such a valuable asset to the firearms community. Zinc phosphate is a light gray like he said, and it eventually turns greenish from contact with oils, the really dark color park jobs also utilize a “pre-black” dip treatment, it blackens the steel prior to the phosphate dip. m16s are anodized (aluminum doesn’t parkerize)
@@BWEFirearms Oh I understand I was just saying, I def want to be a gunsmith within the next few years bc working on guns isn't work to me at all, I enjoy doing it alot. Thanks for the videos man! And keep giving em hell! Hopefully you will be around for a long time.....Fuck Cancer!
@@DPiercy0069 I intend to be around for a long time. Is it feasible for you to attend one of the brick and mortar gunsmith schools like Pennsylvania Gunsmith School?
@@BWEFirearms Good deal! I hope so! Is that a good school? Will probably have to go the route of online distance learning. Hands on is the way to go I know but there's no schools or gunsmiths very close to me in KY. I do some gunsmithing on the side now but hope to get certified and continue learning. Hope to get set up in the next few years and certified so it can be my actual job. If so I'll never have to work another day in my life lol. Thanks for the videos and reply brother!
Another great vids.this great opportunity for me to learn about refinishing firearms and all your builds.Hope you get well soon and share more of your expertise to newbie like myself.Stay positive.
Good video! It answered a lot more than most of the video on this platform. I found you on CRS's channel and can't figure out why you don't have a big following. Goodluck!
WOW thanks .. Richard a few of my M1 carbine are that green color and know i know how they got that way.. i learn every day. Some of my carbines need to be re Parkerized i wish i had the tools and knowledge to do that. also when you parkerize the barrel and it goes in side the barrel does it hurt the performance ? Richard so sorry to here about your medical condition !!
Nice. I just got my galil sar parts kit in the mail a couple hours ago and I was just thinking I'll need to figure out how to parkerize it after I build it
Yes it can if the tolerances are extremely tight. The media blasting will roughen up the surface and the parkerizing will build up on the surface. Zinc Phosphate parkerizing is thicker than Magnesium Phosphate parkerizing.
No internal parts or surfaces should be painted only external ones. Paint builds up on the surface and interferes with the tolerances between parts. I do not parkerize the inside of the barrel, I plug the bore.
Couldn’t the “nimrods” have used 309 to fuse unknown different alloys together? Not all “stainless” is the same. The reasons for different fillers may not be apparent or may have been for best strength rather than final show finish.
💥😎4 EHT MHTIROGLA👍🇺🇸 Excellent Rich & Nick👏...Some people find this stuff "dry" but I 💜 it & eat it up! Keep sharing your knowledge RH it is Appreciated!👍
Great video. I'm in gunsmithing school myself and your knowledge has always been a great resource. Thank you so much for making these videos
Glad to see that your son is learning all your tricks!
It's nice to have him in the shop with me.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience
Thank you, Richard. I appreciate what you're doing.
You are very welcome
Nice video learned a lot about the process to finish a gun including the sand blasting and parkerizing
Glad it helped.
Nice video with your son, Richard! Another good dose of information.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid. Thanks for imparting your wisdom and expertise.
Thank you for your Wisdom. God Bless you Sir🙏🤙
This is an amazing resource. Thank you sir!
You're very welcome!
I hope Nick continues the craft with the skills he learned from his amazing father.
Wish I was in Florida and could learn your skills.
Your son is a lucky guy!
The only problem with that is I'm out of room.

I'm glad you found the video informative. I'm growing slowly.
@@BWEFirearms I'm hoping that popping up on CRS's channel during these times will end up helping you. Lots of information!
@@samrostetter228 Thank you and posting my videos on CRS's channel has helped my grow.
Another great video Huff
Thanks 👍
I've bought a solution of phosporous acid that says you can parkerize with it at room temperature. Is that as durable as the heat treating method?
It is amazing to me just how simple open bolt machine guns are. Which is a good thing in the event a mess of them need to be made in a hurry.
They are incredibly simple.
My heart breaks for his son. He lost both parents within a year or so. 😢 Prayers to him.

the zinc phosphate is greenish like an uzi or a cetme and the manganese phosphate is a greyish color, you got it backwards
Arent Zinc and Manganese phosohate what parkerizing is??
WOW thanks .. Richard a few of my M1 carbine are that green color and know i know how they got that way.. i learn every day. Some of my carbines need to be re Parkerized i wish i had the tools and knowledge to do that. also when you parkerize the barrel and it goes in side the barrel does it hurt the performance ? Richard so sorry to here about your medical condition !!
I would not let the parkerizing solution into the bore of a match barrel but it will not really effect anything on a standard grade barrel.
@@BWEFirearms Ya THANKS
@@RUSTYSURPLUS No problems.
Nice. I just got my galil sar parts kit in the mail a couple hours ago and I was just thinking I'll need to figure out how to parkerize it after I build it
Parkerizing is not hard but you do need the right equipment.
So if painting a gun which do you prefer Aluma Hyde - cerrakote - duracoat or good old appliance paint
I prefer Duracoat. Les critical in the mixing and I don't need an oven to dry it.
You are a cool Dad!
Is there such thing as black parkerizing?
Can parkerizing affect final tolerances?
Yes it can if the tolerances are extremely tight. The media blasting will roughen up the surface and the parkerizing will build up on the surface. Zinc Phosphate parkerizing is thicker than Magnesium Phosphate parkerizing.
Great info. Why parkarize the receiver if you’re going to paint it? Did you parkarize the inside of the barrel too?
No internal parts or surfaces should be painted only external ones. Paint builds up on the surface and interferes with the tolerances between parts. I do not parkerize the inside of the barrel, I plug the bore.
Paint over park is the most common military finish in the world.
@@BWEFirearms Thank you for the clarification, Richard! God bless.
@@jimmyvalhalla1939 Yes it is.
@@willtaylor5501 Your welcome.
Sand blasting or glass beading?
I use mostly aluminum oxide blasting media sometimes glass beads.
You should write a book.
I have thought about it but I don't know if anyone would publish it.
👍🏻
Cool
Actually it's really hot parkerizing especially in August.
I just used walmart 99 cent spray paint on my none functioning sten!
You get what you pay for.
@@BWEFirearms do you have to file a ffl form or other form to parkerize or do re wields on guns?
@@dennisgarrett2044 You have to have an FFL to keep someones gun overnight.
Manganese dioxide with a little cupric oxide. Green!!!
Don't know, I'm a gunsmith not a chemist.
Couldn’t the “nimrods” have used 309 to fuse unknown different alloys together? Not all “stainless” is the same. The reasons for different fillers may not be apparent or may have been for best strength rather than final show finish.
