[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 495166, member: 25383"] the final step in the parkerizing prcess as you said is the oil bath. Normally it's a heated oil that is pretty thin to help it enter into the metal surface.. But before anything serious happens the parts are cleaned and then rinsed. The cleaning solution is similar to floor stripper, and is very caustic (will take the paint of a piece of steel). After two rinses the parts are dried and then get the oil soak. My guess would be that they never got the second wash, and were not dry when they entered the oil bath. I've also seen similar things happen when the parts were very cold. This is why most places clean the parts with very hot cleaning solutions that is agitated by compressed air. The two rinses are there to make the part as clean as you can before going anyfurther. I suspect that if you had removed the barrel and lugs you would have found evidence of a real bad chemical reaction, and a very deep etch in the surfaces. gary [/QUOTE]
