because I was not happy with the brownells plum brown finish. I initially plum browned the the barrel and I was not satisfied. I took a measured dose from a keuric coffee maker of some hot water into a plastic base made from windshield washer fluid container. Putting the barrel in a metal ash Tray i coated it with Lucas white grease peppering it with black powder Like you would do with poultry and running a torch across it to ignite the powder. returning it to the hot water several times. I then took some of the black powder slurry that was mixed with the water in the ash tray..coated the barrel with it added another coating of lucas grease and repeated the process creating a salty but not so hot brine in the container. In the end I wound up with a kind of brown/black oxide finish thats deep and cannot be scratched off. I have posted photos of the results....Thanks for looking....SM
