I may be in the minority here, but, I like a good (Manganese) Parkerized finish. Got that finish on my 8mm, just sent 2 more Mauser barrelled actions to ITD to get parked the same way. I just strip them apart when I get them back and mix one part Marine grade axle grease and one part synthetic ATF and coat EVERYTHING metal. Let it set for a month or so and wipe it off and put it back together. Have had zero corrosion issues.

I don't always shoot Mausers, but when I do...I prefer VZ-24s.
