Title: Re: Need help identifying a parkerized krag
Post by madsenshooter on Feb 6th, 2019 at 4:00pm
I have a 92/96 that was parkerized, the WWII era green.  It was done by a veteran's organization in the Carolinas.  I understand they had quite a few of them.  I noticed the unparked bit on the sight ladder of yours, whoever did mine left the 1902 sight on the barrel, real nice bluing under there!  It appears he didn't get the neutralizing solution all the way through the bore and it pitted in the middle.  When I first got it the inside of the barrel was parked too!  That barrel is used for snake catching now, and the rifle wears an unparked barrel.  I got the rifle figuring it'd look the same in another 100yrs.  It could have, except I use it quite a bit!  A light coat of grease will save some wear on the parkerizing.  CMP parkerizes the Krag rifles they work on, at the owner's request.
