Re: PARKERIZE THAT MG-42

PVC makes an excellent tank for parking. the main thing is to keep the solution at the proper temperature during the process. I always pre heat parts in boiling water before putting them in the tank. as for neutralizing them plain boiling water will do the trick. when mixed properly the park solutio...

We got about a foot of rain, but it has been dry for a few weeks so it soaked right in. ...

Good work Pirate! Food for thought, I know opinions are like ____ and everyone has them but here it goes. If ‘34 receiver pieces start to slow down, Marstar was willing to sell and de-mill to American specs ‘34 receivers for I think $395 last time I checked. I put some time into discussing this...

Re: More semi building questions please......

If you bought a jig, we will take back unused ones for partial payment on a gun build. the best receivers are built from overlapping sections. I will be looking into making filler sections like I have dome on the bren build in progress now.
