I built a 36 Kibler SMR a couple years ago and browned all of the iron parts. The barrel came out a little splotchy and I've been thinking about finally getting around to fixing it soon. Anyways, when I built it I left the lock plain and decided to let it build a natural patina over time. Now I'm toying with the idea of browning the lock to have it match the rest of the hardware.
Does anyone have pictures of their SMR's with browned locks? Also does anyone have tips for browning a lock if I decide I want to do it? I used Track's cold brown solution for another build recently and it turned out fantastic so I'll probably use that for the Kibler now.
