its plum either you know how or you dont,
By Jon J. Byron "big jon" (brentwood militaria brentwood New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Birchwood Casey Plum Brown Barrel Finish (Misc.)
Its plum brown, all the products are universal, from company to company. Be sure you know how to properly use it or you will make a mess of your fire arm. Go on line for further instructions to get help. This is not a simple product to use no matter what you purchase. This product does not go on like cold blue which is much simpler to use.
My special directions for use: 1. Prepare to work by getting set up for the job. A. Pour out a moderate amount of plum in a tupperware of glass bowl. B. Put in 4 or 5 cotton balls in the bowl to soak. C. Turn on your stove gas heat or propane torch. D. Turn on vent on stove hood or work outside if possible. E. Have an oven mitt or hot glove on your non- dominant hand...it gets hot F. Rubber glove your dominant hand if you think you need to..I dont. 2. Heat gun part enough to make water sizzle on the part. 3. Apply plum by daubbing on surface. Plum should evaporate on contact. 4. Put part in running water to rinse. 5. Buff lightly while rinsing with 000 or higher steel wool. 6. Let set till dry. 7. When dry buff with clean steel wool 000 or higher to remove rust. 8. Repeat for darker color. 9. When color is matched be sure to wipe dry thoroughly. 10. Apply vasiline to plummed area to keep out moisture and let cure for a few days. Check for color fastness.

.
A year ago I modified a Pietta 1851 Navy kit from Dixie Gun Works on sale last Christmas for $175 into a copy of a Dance Brothers .36 cal. Confederate pistol made in Texas. I had the front section of the barrel turned round in a machine shop, added a blade front sight (made out of a U.S. nickel), and ground the recoil shield off the frame. Voilà! ... a great looking and shooting copy of a rare Dance Brothers confederate cap and ball revolver, far more authentic looking than the commercial replicas that have incorrect square-backed trigger guards. Dance never made a gun with a square-backed trigger guard. If you ever see one in a museum, it's probably a Colt replacement. I had also located an early unengraved Pietta navy cylinder from a brass framed parts gun. My "Texas Confederate" looked super good and is an excellent shooter. The only problem was that it was shiny steel and didn't look vintage. I ordered a bottle of Birchwood Casey Plum Brown Barrel Finish from Amazon and today saw the results. I needed to broil a nice little fillet mignon anyhow and decided to place the disassembled and cleaned barrel, frame, cylinder, and loading lever assembly on the grill up in the oven to heat as I prepared my steak down in the broiler, set at 300 degrees. After the oven reached 300 degrees, as measured by my internal oven thermometer, I took out the barrel and frame assembly, as a unit, using vice grips to lightly grip the cylinder pin, and without gloves swabbed the browning solution on everything, using cotton balls saved from medicine bottles. The solution sizzled and instantly turned everything a rich chocolate brown as I rubbed it on. I did the same with the still hot cylinder and loading lever. I then placed the parts on top of the stove to cool while I checked my steak in the broiler below. I had a great steak, then went back to the now cool gun parts, polished them lightly with fine steel wool, lubed everything, and reassembled the gun. It looks really good with its new rich brown finish, and I had to heat the gas stove anyway for my steak. Couldn't have been simpler. Not exactly rocket science. Hope this helps.

This is a Wonderful Product if you want or need to refinish an old firearm or artifact from the early times. I have done a couple of old shotguns and recently
an indian trade tomahawk with excellent results; it is very easy to use and a high quality product to boot !! the biggest problem is FINDING it, It is almost impossible to find "in stock" in any stores. But, if you are reading this review guess what ?? You can get it here through Amazon, Hurrah Hurrah !! 2115|R2XXTC8XBTKKM6;2115|R2S16VLPDI6KHU;2115|R1XP0C8TTPRERK;
