Drew's Formby's Suggestion

6 Attachment(s)

Doc Drew suggested using Formby's Tung Oil Finish on worn damascus barrels, I have a barrel set that is somewhat worn, but not too worn so I tried his suggestion. I think it improved the iron/steel contrast. Judge for yourself.

Bruce - how did you degrease the barrels prior to the oil application ?

Did you take measures to keep the coating off of the breech ends of the barrels, underside (where the barrels rest on the receiver), or any other "critical" surface ?

...or did you just wipe it on thin & not worry ?

(Can you tell I worry too much ?!?)
