How Much Brass Blackening Solution for one Rifle?

[Covurt]

Looking to use brass blackening solution on my Kibbler SMR. How many oz is good to do the one rifle?

 

[Bob McBride]

I wouldn’t think you could use more than 3-4 oz on a single gun, even reapplying several times, and spilling at least once. You can literally do the whole barrel with an ounce or two. It doesn’t take much, but I do have the quart size bottle so I always have plenty. I hate cutting stuff close.

Don't know how much. I let the brass darken from use. But I did use some dirty cleaning patches while still damp after a thorough cleaning after a day of shooting. That will darken brass.
Honest use will give you the best results over the long run.

Ord, lots of folks grey their iron with BB. Kibler shows that in his videos so I assumed that’s what he was talking about. There’s no brass on an SMR.

Thanks, Bob.

No Brass on the SMR

I only used part of a bottle of BC Super Blue on my colonial for barrel, lock, and brass. The brass used a little more than the iron, so a small bottle should have you set with that SMR. Good luck and happy building.

Oh wait the front sight is brass.

If you can't wait for it to turn naturally with use, I think the dirty cleaning patches give it a more authentic look than Brass Black. JMO

a small bottle of birchwood casy brass black will do several guns. test it on something to see if you like it first.
