Title: Browned my barrel
Post by: MountainDevil54 on January 25, 2015, 03:37:33 PM: My .58cal Hawken always had a blued ( cold blue) barrel on it but I got tired of it wearing off as I shoot it a lot.

I used Laurel Mountain Forge browning solution and over 4 days, got this in the end. :IBCOOL:

A couple of coats and its done in an afternoon. It turns out really nice. I like the classic brown look much better than blue on traditional style MLs
