I'm almost at the point where I need to decide how I want to finish the metal parts on my Lyman Great Plains Riffle kit. I purchased a bottle of Laurel Mountain Forge Browning solution and I am practicing with it on some old metal crow bars. This stuff isn't as easy as it looks to apply. They say to just wet the surface with a small rag. If I apply too much pressure on the rag, it turns the crowbar copper colored. There is such a fine line between pressing too hard and not enough.
Also, what do I do with all the small metal parts, like sights and screws? I know I need to sand and finish, but its hard to get into all the nooks and grannies. So sanding ain't easy! Also when I brown these, how would I apply it (Laurel Mountain Forge solution)?
Any advice? Is there a easier or better way to finish it?
