I messed up a barrel.

Post them. I’m browning a screw barrel project and will be doing a rifle in the next few weeks using LMF.

Here you go. Hammer and lock didn't turn out how I imagined, I'm not surprised though. The case colored finish was very hard to work with. I'm ok with it though. Oh, I did the triggers too, because well.. Just because!

For an ad on question, when you’re done browning do you finish the barrel with Wax or linseed. I used boiled linseed on the two I’ve done but am looking for ideas. Thanks, dc
 
The faster the reaction during browning, the more coarse the browning will be.
Heat, humidity, and time between carding, will all influence this.
What you have will be extremely durable.
if you decide to redo it, (I wouldn’t). Use shorter times between carding, card well between each coat, keep temp and humidity lower.
LMF is the best in my opinion.
