the old barrel makers used to dip the barrels in a etching solution to match the barrels before they were assembled. i belive it was diluted hydrocloric acid. but that process did not last it was only for matching the tubes. i would like to know who first figured out how to do the black and white finish. very cool stuff at the testing lab. thanks for the look in.
