Does anyone have a good step-by-step procedure for performing a homemade solution that works?
It’s not that difficult to brown a gun barrel with vinegar. All you need is some basic supplies and a little patience. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A clean, dry cloth
- White vinegar
- A small brush
- An old toothbrush (optional)
- Cotton balls or Cotton swabs (optional)
First, make sure your gun barrel is clean and dry. Whatever cleaning method you use, just be sure to get rid of any grease, oil, or residue that may be on the surface. Next, pour a little vinegar onto the cloth and then rub it all over the surface of the barrel. You don’t need to drench the barrel, just coat it evenly.
Let the vinegar sit on the barrel for a few minutes, then come back and check on it. If the barrel has started to turn brown, great! If not, don’t worry, just give it a little more time. Once the barrel has reached the desired color, rinse it off with water and dry it with a clean cloth.
That’s all there is to it! With a little bit of elbow grease, you can easily brown a gun barrel at home. Just be patient and let the vinegar do its work.
