The Fat Man
New member
An elderly friend of mine recently purchased a rather abused m-1 carbine. He stripped and refinished the stock; being a retired master machinist he is very meticulous in his work. He has tried bluing the metal parts, but everything he's tried has wiped right off. His theory is that he's just not using the right bluing, but I seem to recall something about not being able to blue any metal that has been Parkerized, as I'm pretty sure his carbine has been.
Anyone have any advice?
