In addition to maintaining firearms, most military firearms have a finish that offers SOME protection from rust. This may be bluing or Parkerizing. Some guns, such as the M16, have frames made from an alloy that does not rust.
Did inland produce any m1 carbines with blue finish?
Possibly. There is mention of a black oxide finish on early carbines that resembled bluing more than Parkerizing. Winchester referred to it as Du-lite. All carbines were made with SOME blued parts.
What is the difference between a parkerized finish and a blued finish on a firearm?
A blued finish is produced by controlled rusting, usually produced by a chemical reaction, that forms a thin layer of black iron oxide on the surface of the gun. This is a dark blue or black color, and helps protect the metal from corrosion. However, when subjected to the rigors of military usage, bluing was not adequate to protect the metal. Another finish, known as Parkerizing was developed to provide greater protection. This is a phosphate coating that is typically a grey/green flat (non-shiny) color. This was used on US military small arms starting just prior to WW II. The finish of the M-1 Garand, M-1 Carbine, and M-14 rifle is an example of Parkerizing.
What is the difference between a blued finish or parkerized finish on guns?
Polishing before finish was applied Actually they are two completely different processes using different chemicals with different results. Parkerizing is more rust resistant and will hold protection lube coating better and the finish changes color with age. Blueing doesn't change color except through wear.

Kimber TLE stainless it is starting to rust you are thinking about parkerizing what do you need to do?
I just came about this on a Google search and it seems it hasn't been answered... but this doesnt show the date the question was asked.... anyway, if you want to parkerize a stainless gun you've got a lot of problems ahead of you, best is to coat it. either buy some duracoat or send it to somebody to have it duracoated. best way is to polish off the rust(its on your barrel most likely, as silver barrels from kimber are "in the white" and not stainless)
