Antiquing a barrel?
I have looked over the forum and can't find any specifics on how to get that lightly pitted matt grey finish on your barrel and lock. I have read bleach, or boling bleach to steam the parts works well to get the light pitting. Also have read mustard, and naval jelly can work. Can anyone give...- flintbuilder
