Birchwood Casey makes a cold barrel brown. I have some, but have never used it. The Laurel Mountain Forge Browning solution can be used cold as well.

Yep that Stevens has the strangest take down feature that I've ever seen! You jack the forearm, twist the magazine which partially unscrews it and a locking device slips out of the receiver. You tap the barrel from the bottom and it slides from the bottom and it comes out the top of the receiver along a set of machined groves. Very strange.
No gun maker in his right mind would make such a gun today. It would cost a fortune to make.
