    Maybe he could mix the zinc and manganese? Or, maybe swirl them together like a chocolate/vanilla soft-serve icecream cone on a hot summer day. That would be nice.

    I wonder what would happen if you mixed the two solutions?

    They still seem to park but correctly but I have not experimented enough to really have a grasp. If there were a market for it, I'd set up a third booth and give it a whirl, there is no such market though.

    How dare you cater to only markets which you can profit from! I think the Obumunites shall sway public sentiment against you until the day you provide for the whims of all!

    I'd have to say, this is the nicest M-1 Garand NM rifle I have ever seen minus the red grease.

    I would be up for something between the two colors. I'm just not a fan of the black

    Canes,
    That is a interesting contrast on your rifle

    would there be any benefit to mixing park solutions?Does Manganese wear differently than zinc,or rather,withstand wear better?Would mixing combine each's qualities and make an uber park?
