Sydney:  I've got some browning/bluing solution I would like you to try...give me a call.

Taylor, if it's not a secret I would love to know what it is you used to get that finish? 

Thanks, Howard.

Homer's worked well for me, easy to get an even finish.

My experience with Danglers was similar

is Homer Dangler still around? I haven;t heard any mention of him for a long time and used to see him at Friendship.

I suspect Taylor's formula is what was used on this barrel too.

Homer passed away a few years ago .. super good guy ...
Jim Klein , Homers apprentice and buddy , bought his stuff and has been selling his stuff ever since ...
I have been using Danglers Browning Solution for about 30 years ... Its the best rusting juice I have ever used ...
Liza at Log Cabin Shop sells it to who ever wants to try it .. Give her a shout ...

I second that!  It’s the only cold brown solution I’ve ever used.
Works great!

I've tried a few but the Homer recipe is by far the best .

In early 1958 I built a simple walnut half stock rifle using the first 58 caliber barrel Bill Large made and let it change from white to brown over a 4 year period by exposure to weather and other people handling it.It was quite a contrast when the barrel was out of its channel in
the stock.That quote from President Lincoln needs to be taught in schools today and thanks for posting it.

I have found the performance of different solutions varies depending on the material being browned.  I prefer Dangler's for iron and older plain carbon steels, but find it somewhat lacking on some modern steels.  Eventually get's the job done, but it can be a bit of a slog.
