Isn't that called "bluing" and is done with some kind of salts or oils? A kit for bluing, both hot and cold, can be bought from Brownells.

I am not referring to bluing Bernd, take a look at this site for an excellent example of color case on a double bbl. shotgun.

Joe,

Thanks for showing that. I'd forgotten about the bone and wood charcoal. Those are nice colors. I bet it takes a bit of practice to get that kind of beauty out of metal.

Stew, might need to borrow that soon  :lol:

 :offtopic: How tight do you go with those nuts? Do you have graphited yarn behind them or 'o' rings?

I used graphite yarn you don't have to go too tight just so you feal a little resistance.
