Need help with Parkerizing and a barrel swap

[Eorrick]

Hi everyone, I have a M 1917,45 revolver. It has a non-US government barrel which I have recently found after six months of looking for one but the new barrel is blued and the 1917 is Parkrized. Any recommendations for someone who can do this. To clarify, I need just a Barrel parkerized, and then a barrel swap on the revolver frame.

Leadeye and BossHoss are revolver specialists here. If they cannot do it for you, they will know who can.

Parkerizing comes in many shades. I can't imagine being happy unless the entire firearm is parkerized at the same time.

You will need to make the swap then re parkerize the the entire gun otherwise it won't match. A good gunsmith in your area should have someone that can do this. I have a gunsmith in Memphis, TN that I use but he isn't taking any extra work at this time.
