I was at the gun store today and saw Birchwood-Casey Plumb Brown finish and I thought of you lol. Here's a quote from their website on it Produces a rich, authentic, old style brown finish for original or replica firearms. Plum Brown Barrel Finish is ideal for restoring antique guns, muzzleloaders and other metal antiques. A durable, protective and attractive finish that’s simple to apply. Just heat metal with propane torch or other clean, convenient method and apply browning solution with swab. Immediate results – no waiting for old-fashioned slow rust process which can take weeks to finish.
Hope that helps for ya. I'v never used it but i might in the refinishing of an old H&R shotgun i got. -Carnifex
