<Jordan>Parkerizing: what effect on bore??
Does parkerizing adversely affect the finish of a rifle bore? If so, then one must plug the bore and breach with something prior to parkerizing the barrel. What do you use as a plug?
Thanks,
Jordan
Jordon, Yes the parkerizing solution will have an adverse effect on the bore by "etching" it. I plug both ends of the bore with silicone plugs that were purchased from Brownell's.

Sorry Jordan. Mispelled your name.
