Browning solution.

OK lads here is my problem. I am renovating an old S/S with Damascus barrels. Now it would be easy enough to take it into the Birmingham gun trade to get the barrels re-browned but I really would like to have a go at them myself.

I have a formula for the browning solution but I can’t find anywhere that sells the ingredients or to make up the formula for me. I have tried my local chemist but he no longer holds any of the items in stock and says that the cost to get it made up for him by his suppliers would be astronomical. :D

Does anyone know where I can get

Copper sulphate

Ferric Chloride

Nitric Acid

Alcohol (90%)

I only need minute quantities but it’s like asking for the Crown Jewels, so any help would be appreciated. :whistling:
