Any cold bluing solution should work, or as Joe says even browning will work but browning is rusting and will leave the patina of 100 years in a jiffy. This may look old but probably not gray.
If the gun is assembled obviously the pencil torch is out of the question. But as we learned earlier in life, chemical reactions work twice as fast for every 10 degree increase in C temperature (just a general statement which is not precise but does matter). Get the receiver as warm as possible and not in a cold garage, and free of all oil and grease. Just my 2 cents, subject to criticism from the gallery as usual.
