Anyone ever "brown" a gun barrel? I gave my 14 year old a muzzleloader kit for Christmas and the barrel is "in the white". I talked to a gun shop about possibly bluing the barrel but they started at $200 and up. Looked up other options and Laurel Mountain Forge seems to have a pretty good product for something like this:

I looked at Birchwood Casey but to many people seemed to have a lot of issues with both cold bluing and hot bluing.
