  A:

  Check out the specs on the RIA site below. I also found Armscor suggests if you do use +P ammo to use it "Occasionally". +P ammo can cause premature wear on the internals and you'llneed to increase the cleanings.

• Q: What is the difference in the finishes "Parkerized" and "Blued"?

  • Answered
  • Asked 09/19/2024 16:32 by Garry H

  A:

  Hi Garry, Parkerizing, also known as phosphating or bonderizing, is a gun metal treatment that provides a tougher finish than bluing with an increased resistance to corrosion, nicks and scratches.
  Black oxide rifle finish, commonly called Bluing because if its blue-black color, is a close cousin of the red iron oxide we call rust. Giving gun metal a blued finish is a controlled electrochemical conversion process, or oxidizing chemical reaction, with the iron in the surface of the steel. The resulting thin layer of oxide on top of the steel increases the metal's corrosion resistance.
