14130 Plum Brown Barrel Finish, 5-Ounce

I've been building muzzle loaders for 50 years. Been using this for at least 40. This works easily and looks good. I have no reason to try anything else.

Great stuff!

Good works great

Exactly as described

This is a great product for what I bought it for, which is not for guns, but to age/antique small nails or fasteners or tin on various antique items. I restore antique objects (not furniture) & often I need to make a surface darker for which I use Birchwood Casey Super Blue, but that leaves a bluish tint on some metals (black on others). That tint does not look old, but with some of this added on top (or sometimes instead of the Bluing), it works great. Just today I put a missing nail in an 18th Century Nutcracker & though the nail I used was very old, it had to be shortened the tip was then bright, so I had to age it. Using the bluing & then this, gave it a dark, aged, almost starting to rust appearance that is much better than using fake rust (which does not look authentic on anything that is not rusty to begin with). NOTE- If you start with new nails/screws, you'd have to remove all the finish on them before you could blue them or brown them successfully. The one problem is the inner peel-away cover you have to remove to use it. It is almost impossible to remove completely & I was unable to even cut off the last bit. I found out that if you leave any of it, it becomes putrid. If not for that, I'd have given it 5 stars. Overall, I'm very pleased though.

Used it to coat some old medal horseshoes. Looks good. I've used it before on my muzzleloader.

I have used this product for many years (first time in 1974) for browning barrels and parts for muzzle-loaders. Given proper prep work, this will provide a beautiful, rich brown to the metal. The key, as with any metal finish, is a good polish job combined with de-greasing. Heat the object to be browned to the point where the application just "sizzles" when applied. Allow to cool, wipe with shop type paper towels, rub down with steel wool and repeat as often as needed for the depth of color you want.

I heated my parts in an oven so I could get a constant, even 275 degrees. Then I applied the plum brown using a cotton swab held with small pliers. I did this three times. After the third application, the surface looked very uneven and I wasn't happy, but once I rinsed it in cold water and it produced a perfectly even and brown finish. Great product.

very fast delivery. impressive

This is a quality product, which I have used for many years for browning steel parts for antique and old style firearms. However, the bottle leaked in shipment; seller went above and beyond to make it right.

Thank you Onogo for having the Casey Plum Brown Finnish available. The package arrived earlier than the expected delivery date, which was awesome. I have a project to finish a set of antique chairs that have been in my wife's family for a long time. This product should help match the previous finish perfectly.

Just what I needed.Works great, Follow directions.
