Browned The Iron Parts: 

For the barrel, I used Laurel Mountain Barrel Browner and Degreaser. It worked great.

Before I browned the cock assembly, I wanted to flatten the two sides of the cock screw head and drill a 3/32" hole thru the head. This allows for easier tightening of the flint in the head of the cock of the hammer. 

 

I also engraved the heads of the screws. DSCN0250.JPG (118943 bytes)

 

 

 

  I used Plum Brown and hot browned all the other parts. Once I reached the color I wanted, I scrubbed them down with baking soda and then let them soak in a bath of old motor oil.
