Love it! Big improvement.

I want to pass along a trick I learned about on the 1911 forum for parked guns. Warm it up in the oven (or southern windowsill) and wipe it down with cosmoline, then polish off all the excess. I did this to a parkerized Springfield GI and absolutely love the results. It gives the parkerizing a dark, smooth finish that is even more rust resistant. Try it in an unobtrusive place to see if you like the effect. The cosmoline would be fairly easily removed with any solvent if you don't. I have given a couple of bayonets, an M3 knife and am thinking about giving a parked 03 Springfield this treatment.
