I noticed on my browned barrel that the breech area of the gun did not get as browned as the rest of the gun. I already finished and applied oil to the barrel. If I degreased it could I just apply a new coat of LMF? Should I maybe sand that area a little bit?

Do your best to degrease the area.
Lacquer thinner, MEK, acetone, Disk Brake cleaner or denatured 100 percent alcohol should work but it might take several applications.
After this the LMF should bite into the metal and brown the area.

I have had the same trouble, I followed instructions like Zonie just layed out and had success getting the brown I needed.
FWIW, because I did the entire job, I could still see where I made the repair, but unless someone else is really looking for it, it's not noticable.
The builder is always his worst critic, :wink:

Apply a little at a time. I made a misteak :redface: when I originally built my Brown Bess kit and the top of the barrel near the muzzle has an ugly spotch of browning different than the rest of the barrel. I never correct it. After all these years it is just part of the character of the gun.
