finished s/n 060606 tonight and have some question. I used allegany arsenal chemicals. It said to apply the neutralizer right after rinsing. It did not say anything about drying or air blowing so I assumed it was OK to apply still wet? Too late now but in the future? After applying what then? Should I wipe it down, clean it off or apply an oil over that? How long should I keep it on?
All and all I'm really not too happy with the out come. The gun is an ugly grey black, uneven and thin looking. It really brought out the machining on the new side plate and any place the rivits were ground down flush. The front sight block and bolt handle hardly took any parkerizing at all.
Oh well, I gave it a shot and I'm tired of futzing with it and am ready to put it all back together and shoot. I ordered an A6 stock and bipod from Numrich friday and should get it soon. Another project done.
