For those who are curious. Jm gunsmithing will not do that work. He recommended Highsmith Guns to me.
If you can find someone "local" who'll do real honest-to-God parkerizing - spread that info around far and wide. Not many people do that work any more!
I know a guy
Do tell!
I didn't know that you offered that service!
For any whom were curious. I will be sending my rifle and new barrel to Shuffs. I wont have it for 3 to 4 months, but their prices and quality are good. $178 and they will rebarrel, completely refinish the rifle, and stamp worn out cartouches back in the stock...I was quoted $400 from Highsmith just to rebarrel my rifle with a customer supplied barrel, and they outsource the parkerizing so they would have to get back with me for that price. It seemed to me it was heading for the $600-650 range for less work than Shuffs does for $178. I try to help local businesses, but not when they price gouge me.
