I haven't parkerized anything since 1985. We'll all see how this goes! As usual I'll photograph the process and post it here. I still lack building the burner assy frame and legs. I've been out of town for a few days and progress stopped. I'm back and plan to get started anew tomorrow.

As for rivets, I'll probably use 20 penny nails shape the heads and cut them off for simulated rivets on this replica. I'll flatten the shanks and drive them in predrilled holes. Any advice is welcome.

 Here is the barrel support I repaired to a replica state. No good for a real live build but good enough for a replica. How can I get it to the UK? |

Mike 30 and 50 cal BMG barrel supports are available in the UK so not sure if it's worth your while to ship over here unless you allready have a buyer ?
Keep up the good work,ATB Kevin
