Been dabbling with this work off and on. Ambient temperatures, humidity levels, and other variables make it a pain to scale well. Here’s the last barrel, that goes with a 1880’s Lefever Side-Cocking 10ga.

Gorgeous metal!
I have no idea how, but it sure is pretty.
Great looking work!
What bluing solution are you using?
Laurel Mtn. Forge Barrel Brown
There was a bread oven on offer up in Raleigh area 3 or so weeks ago. $250 iirc. Included 1 rack and 8 trays.I’be used Mark Lee as well. The issue I have with it for barrels is heating them evenly before application. I’m using a heat gun. What I’ll like to find is a used tall bread oven to heat them to, and also use the dry them well before clear coating the finished work. Would be handy for curing Cerakote as well
Beat to hell like this one way, not too much money. Making them shootable again gets a little more costly. If you need a nice old double, check out Mid South Guns in Wagram NC. A few hundred doubles down there, at a wide range of price points.I need one of these, cheap. LOLOLOLOL
