Hello all,
I was wondering if maybe somebody out there could give a greenhorn some much needed advice. I am currently working on my first "kit". It's a Traditions Kentucky pistol that my brother bought me a while back. While it's only a percussion (sorry ), I thought it best to start out on something easy and then move on to a rifle (flint of course) the next time. My problem is that I browned the barrel with Laurel Mountain Forge Barrel Brown and Degreaser and man did it brown the barrel ::. My wonderful wife however lost the instructions and I have forgotten how to deactivate the reaction. I thought you use baking soda and warm water but I'm not sure. Any help on this would be appreciated. Maybe I'll post a picture when I'm done.
