For most brass, if there's a clear lacquer finish atop the brass, it must first be removed - probably NP with kit brass that needs filing/finish-shaped.

I've darkened some brass by using a liquid cold blue solution, but the best way is to let it age naturally, like these guys"

Any of the cold blue solutions will age brass and I use 44/40. The brass is sanded w/ 320 grit paper, rubbed w/ 0000 steel wool and cleaned w/ alcohol. The blue after applying turns the brass black and then is rubbed back w/ 0000 steel wool until the desired aging is achieved. The Pbox shown is slightly aged. The only thing shiny on my LRs. are the bores.....Fred
