Parkerizing touch up
I have a parkerized M1 rifle that has a big bare spot on the receiver. Is it possible to touch up this spot? I would like to keep as much of the original finish as possible.

Parkerizing is just zinc phosphating. You should be able to touch it up if you can locate some zinc phosphate solution.
