Parkerizing and rust question
Posted: Sun May 03, 2009 12:16 am
I am picking up a new parkerized Ruger Mark on Tuesday.
My question is...
Has anyone done anything to work oil/grease into the parkerized finish?
I read somewhere that someone took apart his 1911 and covered it in petroleum jelly. He put it in the oven at 350 for half a day. It made the grease soak into the pores of the parkerized finish.
It sounds like a mess but if it makes the gun last, I'm for it.
Thoughts?
