I have about decided to brown, rather than gray, the barrel and lock on my Woodsrunner. I’ve browned barrels with LMF but never small parts. Is there anything special about browning lock parts? I know not to rust the internal parts. Thanks, Eddie

Browning flint lock

First disassemble the lock and brown only the outside of the lock plate, hammer, external screws, and the back of the frizzen. I put a little oil on my frizzen face to keep that from browning. I put them in a small aluminum drip pan and into my humidity box. Treat the parts like any other browning project.

What Reddogge said ... Sometimes you have to chase , clean out , the threaded holes after its done browning . I suppose your cold browning it ...if hot browning ...I wouldn't hot brown the frizzen , you can screw it up easyn, anneal it by accident , take out the hardness in the frizzen .
