Eric Krewson:
On the gun in the lock picture I used cold blue on all the parts but the lock and rubbed the blue back to gray with a scotch bright pad. To this color;



On the squirrel rifle I  browned everything with Laurel Mountain Forge browning solution following the instructions, gave it a good coat of oil and assembled the rifle.

It took a few days but this stuff got a nice deep brown color.




 

Tracker0721:
I’ve been reading that laurel mountain makes a better brown or bluing than Birchwood-Casey, do you think that’s true too? Seems a lot more people are using them.

Eric Krewson:
You have to heat the barrel and parts to use Birchwood Casey Plum brown, you don't with LMF. I have only used LMF, I like it but it does have pitfalls and you might have to do some parts over. Sometimes it takes a while to get it to stop rusting, sometimes it goes on streaky but will fill in with subsequent coats.
