m1 receiver questions

[orsogato]

Hi all,

I am rebuilding an m1 rifle. I want to have my receiver refinished as there is some wearing on the op rod rail guide, and the original finish is quite worn.

The receiver is an H&R. Would blueing help protect the receiver at all, or should I just have it re-parkerized? The main goal is not so much to make the gun look pretty but to protect the receiver from any more wear.


Thanks

Orso,
I'm copying your question to The Smithy forum, as I believe you will get a faster and more practicable response to your question there.
