Ever seen a polished blued M1 Garand? I wonder if it would look better than parkerizing.

there are a few out there! Anyone
have a photo? I suppose I could
wake up my Photo Shop and get
it busy, but that would be
cheating!
Thanks for the totally alien idea!

Nice Garand[8D] Thats the way a Garand is supposed to look.
I would worry about someone who wanted a blued Garand. Where would it stop? Next thing you know they would want to do would be some fancy engraving. Then a jeweled bolt.
Blueing and engraving have their place and it aint on a Garand.
Yea, I don't think I'm going to blue it. I'm just going to get it reparked.
What about getting one of those new DuraCoat finishes from lauercustom weaponry? http://www.lauerweaponry.com/
Maybe in new digital desert camo..
He customized one for an Alaskan hunt that would have him around salt water and expected a lot of rain also.
Among his customizations was to get all the metal parts coated in some type of black teflon that resembled a black park look. Also had the barrel shortened.
That was one cool customized Garand and almost impervious to the weather.
