I reparked my Winchester M1 today and it came out sweet! It was a CMP FG with almost no finish left but a barrel that was almost new. So today I decided to give it a little treatment at the day spa and get the old girl lookin good again. I found it has one hell of a lead dipped heel too. I scraped off about 1/4 inch of cosmo on the stock the other night and found some awesome stamps. It is mostly Winchester parts, but I still need a Winchester stock, barrel and oprod so for time being this is my rifle. If this thing could only talk.

 

Looks sweet Eric. You have the nicest toys.

looks great ! when i get my stuff you need to teach me

Looks great, but a Winnie stock will cost you as much as that rifle.

Nice

Excellent...and the lead pot annealing still shows on the heel.

Eric, How difficult to repark? Dave

Parking is a joke Dave, i will pm you tomorrow with the process

I have a rem umc 1911, needs reparking, Thanks, shooting for a cmp trip 7-5,6,7. Will pic all the details. Dave

Wait till the end of the month if you can, its the special time of year for Garands at the NS. I am heading back out there on the 23rd.....yup another trip for me!

They are already loading up for the matches!

Sorry for the late reply, we have been dealing with a little tropical storm out here. Parking is really simple, first you need to sandblast all the parts being parked down to bare metal. Then you put your parking solution in a stainless steel pan and heat it up to ~175º. Take the parts that are sandbasted and rinse them off with water to remove the dust ect, and drop them into the tank for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes pull your parts out and rinse them REALLY good in water to neutralize the park solution and then spray everything heavily in WD-40. It's that simple. Start to finish my winchester took about an HR.
