Ran down his list of instructions/requirements for ordering service. This stuck out:

If you voted for any democrat candidate in the last election, please use some other vendor. I do not do work for "people" who hire politicians to put me out of business.

Mg34 sells a kit that I have used to great success.

Made me smile.

I offer no discounts for anyone. We are all equal at Shuff’s Parkerizing, unless you’re a filthy democrat.

Midway and others sell the parkering solution.

You just need a stove and proper pan.

I went back and checked, this is the kit I used: https://mg34.com/product/home-parkerizing-kit-manganese/

Prep was sand blast after degreasing, used a couple stainless steel pans on my outdoor propane burner I use for steaming crabs. The finish came out fantastic - this picture is from about three years and a couple thousand rounds later (before I got rid of that awful beaver tail for a properly contoured one).

Now I need one of those "Mag fed" M1 scout length rifles !!!
Damn you all !!!!

What type of sand blast equipment do you use for home gunsmith parkerizing projects. I've got a couple of old pieces that are cosmetically challenged and wouldn't mind giving it a try.

IIRC aluminum oxide, I’ll check when I get home and update if that isn’t what I use.

I use glass beads with low air pressure fro just far enough away to gently strip. Stamps/marks can actually appear to become more legible or enhanced.
Sandblasting grit can degrade lightly struck marks or erase them entirely if the user isn’t careful. Roughened bolt raceways or surfaces meant for sliding parts can be easily effected By both methods without care but I find glass beads the less harmful method.
I have a cheap portable shop sandblaster for when something’s really munted up.
If your going for a high polish finish, sand cloth and steel blocks by hand I think is still the best way but that’s not for parkerizing.

What manufacture of sand blaster (cabinet, compressor, etc.) equipment do you use. Harbor Freight has some pretty inexpensive stuff. I do some home gunsmithing but as far as refinishing goes I'm starting at zero.

I use the HF one, works like a champ and the price is right for as much as you'll use it.
You will however need a substantial volume of air for very large projects or continuous use.
If you have a smaller compressor you could probably restrict the nozzle easily enough
to not over run a smaller compressor. Or, just take a break in between cycles which isn't a problem
because they work pretty well.
Well enough to strip poorly chromed plating from parade rifles with a little extra time and some tough scale
from other small implements/old tools

I took a garand to Fulton Armory a while back for parkerizing and they did a great job
