Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.
I am about to start building my first kit gun, a Pedersoli Kentucky Flint .50 caliber.
I want to dull/darken the brass parts.
Suggestions please.
Thanks,
SFH
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
