barrel browner

Browning takes about three weeks to do properly, the process used on these barrels dates back to the 1840s, my picture taking is not too good !, one is a finished barrel, one is a barrel that has the rusting solution on it.

Lots of guns but the ones I looked at were well overpriced.

Is this gun sold ?

I will dig out some more pics shortly

My grandfather was a barrel finisher in the trade this was one of his many hobbies, he started making them in the late sixties, I think they must be the only miniature guns that have damascus barrels,( he made the damascus barrels himself ) all the parts work although I do not know if they would fire and I would not try, I will add some more pics when I can.

Hi all, Just returned from the game fair and on the way back I called in on a friend who is an actioner for the gun trade, I asked him if he could do some work on my miniature guns, we took them apart and placed the locks next to a two pence piece to show the size and these are working parts.

Where in Devon are you I am in North Devon and I have an rfd.

I black barrels for a living and I have to have an rfd even though it is just barrels, I also had to have a secure workshop alarm cctv etc, if you want to do barrels learn the proper way to do it as cold blues will never match other finishes and will wear quickly. www.shotgunblackingbrowningandblueing.co.uk

You should never use wd40 on any gun metal parts barrels, trigger guards etc and as others said stand the gun barrels down so no oil runs into the stock.
