just wondering, in the event one were to hypothetically ponder refinishing a black poweder cap-and-ball revolver in anodizing Cerakote, plating, etc...
I have a 40+ Year old Navy Arms 1858 I finished as a kit gun all those years ago with a boiled browned finish that turned black from the boiling. It has held up great. It is the middle revolver. The one on the right is no spring chicken either. View attachment 72196
I have a pietta remington I bought 20 years ago. The finish was terrible so I browned it. It’s actual brown I didn’t boil it. I wonder if I boiled it now if it would turn black? I’d almost guess the browning solution would still need to be active. I might boil it and find out. Won’t hurt anything lol.
