I just finished with browning my barrel. I wiped it with a baking soda/water solution. I did not use boiled linseed oil. It also suggested using wax. I did have liquid gunstock wax from Birchwood casey which also said it was safe on metal. Look at Underhammer kit for a photo of the browning.

I use baking soda. I give it a good rubdown with baking soda and rinse with water. I use 30 wgt. motor oil for the finish coat but most any kind of wax should work well also.
