Brian, My reaction to this thread when I read it was what a find. I didn't have much emotion except a good laugh when I saw your " I think I can bring back the barrels with microwelding" photo.
However, last night I had several horrible nightmares that my Parkers had developed horrible bulging spongecake rust under the bluing that would come out in wet gobs.
Good luck with your project.
Erick
