I have one of those $85 NEF single-shots from Wal Mart. I bought it as a learner gun and it turned into one of the best trap guns I've ever seen. If you miss, it's your fault. That gun is eerily accurate.
The problem is the finish is a VERY cheap with thin bluing and color case hardening. It rusts very easily unless you keep it almost dripping with oil. I am wanting to possibly take this gun into the field and want a more durable finish.
I am considering parkerizing it, as I want a working gun, not a beauty queen, (not that it'd win any constests right now anyway). How expensive would it be to parkerize it and would it be worth it? Who would be the best guy to do it? Is there a better finish available?
I have some Norrell's Moly-Resin left over from refinishing one of my AR-15s. Norrells claim that the Military buys their products for refinishing. Is this finish durable for field use? Would this work as a cost-effective solution?
Thanks for your time.
