Any Shops in Indiana Sell Parkerizing Solution?

[Flintlock]

I'm looking to try my hand at some parkerizing, but hate having to pay such high shipping rates on the supplies (Midway wants $17 to ship a 16oz bottle...). Does anyone know of anyplace in Indiana I can get some? Particularly if it's near I65...

I've got a handful of rusted m1 carbine magazines I'm going to try refurbing with a new park. They're too pitted for bluing to look good.

Thanks!

If you find any, shoot me a PM. I'm in the same boat with a few M1 carbine mags as well, and i have a couple parkerizing projects i'd like to undergo at a reasonable rate.

Have you tried Brownells? Shipping is a little less since they average HazMat into all shipments.

They're about the same price on shipping. Not to mention they're oos on zinc solution and about $5 more than Midway.

Just do a search for kitchen stove parkerizing and you can find home recipes that work pretty good. I have used the steel wool method and it worked, but it can't be used more than once. It was CSP's Col. Dick Culvers recipe.

Wait until April and go to Knob Creek. Last year a buddy of mine bought some park solution there. (I think) He had Gallon jugs of it and (I think) he only paid about $50 for it.

Hmm, even with all of my Google-fu I still havent been able to find a place in Indiana or Chicago that sells it. I'm sure there's a small shop somewhere out there that has the stuff! But for now it looks like I'll be order.

I've read great recommendations for this solution:

Owens Group, LLC dba Palmetto Enterprises Striving to meet the needs of car & gun enthusiasts one part at a time.

Anyone have any experience with it?

How much are you wanting, I've got some extra manganese I believe.
