Full tech inspection to assure the firearms
safety and function. DGR gages and records
all critical measurements on a rifle before other work is started.
This tech inspection informs our customer of what is worn and to what
degree. This gives the customer a clear picture of the condition of
their firearm and allows them to make important decisions regarding
what parts if any should be replaced. The tech report has also become
a selling tool. People who have sold DGR re-built rifles have
included the tech report, which gave the person purchasing the rifle a
clear understanding of what they were getting.
Meticulous metal preparation prior to the Parkerizing process.To assure proper coverage when
Parkerizing, each and every part needs to be clean and free of all
grease or oils. Each part is cleaned in a parts washer, rinsed in hot
water and dried with compressed air. A clean, (lightly oiled) patch
is then run through the bore before the bore is plugged for the
Parkerizing process.
Removing burs from screws and metal parts.
This might be
one of the most distinguishing aspects of DGR’s Parkerizing. Most
other companies just apply a new finish to old parts without first
removing noticeable dings and burs. You end up with an old part that
has a new finish, but still looks old from the dings and burs. DGR
takes the needed time to polish and re-shape all parts to assure the
parts look as close to new as possible before Parkerizing. This is
one reason why customers tell us our Parkerizing is unmatched in the
industry.
Genuine, Mil-Spec Parkerizing of all
metal, following the time-honored, government armory process that
meets MIL-SPEC STND –171. Stainless steel parts, springs, and
barrel bores will not be parkerized.(Please
note that stainless steel metal such as the gas cylinder system on the
M1 will not Parkerize. These parts are finished with a closely
matching baking lacquer.) Manganese phosphate, (Parkerizing) offers
excellent rust and wear resistance when used as a final finish. It is
non-reflective, wears well, and due to its oil/lubricant trapping
ability, is outstanding in inclement weather.
Note:
The gas cylinder, lock and screw on the M1 Garand are treated with a
baked-on black or gray lacquer at no extra charge.
DGR disassembles all
parts for proper Parkerizing. This is important for proper
finishing. We have seen where others have not completely disassembled
the rifle, causing some areas not to have complete coverage. This can
cause these parts/areas to rust. This is a common practice with
trigger groups, butt plates and many other parts that can be
disassembled. The pictures beloware a few examples of others
work we have seen over the years. (Rest
assured, you will not get this type of poor workmanship from
DGR!)

If you do NOT wish the letters and numbers highlighted,
please let us know in advance.

lubrication and assembly. It is worthy to note that the butt
plate, follower and all other parts were disassembled for proper
Parkerizing.)
Type 1 Finish - Fancy
Finish - Used most often on Extra Fancy Grade
stocks, birch stock sets or custom built rifles. This is a shiny oil finish
that truly brings out the color and figure in the wood. DGR finishes
these stocks set down to 600 grit to allow the depth of the wood to come out.
Type 2 Finish -
Un-issued/Original Finish - Used most
often when the wood has never been sanded before, does not have deep dents
that require filler. This finish was developed to look like the finishes
found on original issue stock sets. The finish is smooth like the type 1,
but duller. DGR finishes these stock sets to 220 grit.
Painstaking preservation of all cartouches and/or other
markings.
Raising all dings or dents that can be raised through
conventional means.
Epoxy filling of deep gouges as per government rebuild
practice.
Micro wood finishing.
Military-spec stock stain
Custom hand-rubbed oil finish where several coats are used,
so the drying process takes much longer than that of other commercially
available stocks. The results are a more attractive stock with a
longer lasting finish.
