What are you using to Brown your barrel?

---

I used Laurel Mountain Forge barrel browning solution. Actually quite simple to use just a little time consuming. You basically just lightly wipe the solution on and set it in a warm humid place. wait 3+ hours depending how mumid it is. I did mine in the spare bathroom running a hot shower saving the hot water in the tub until steam starts to condense on the mirror then I turned the water off. Let it create a film of rust and card off the rust with a carding wheel or a piece of canvas dipped in warm water. Or if you want it blued you boil it in water then card. Repeat the steps until you have the color you want.


Starts out horrible looking, blotchy, abd very uneven. Just keep doing the steps over and over and it evens itself out.


3 passes and I had a nicely browned barrel at the end of he day.
