Find a boy aged 12-15 years of age and have him handle the gun. His sweaty hands will turn anything brown resulting in a nice patina. I know this for a fact.

I'm with you Wayne!! That "recipe" hit me at a weak moment and I laughed so damn hard I think I added another 18 years of "peetina" to the front of my shorts!!!

An overnight dip in the 'secret formula' produced a pleasant "French gray" tone to a brightly polished trigger guard bow.

Here is the trigger guard in question.

I am just glad my replacement screw was on its way before Tom started getting advice from Dean.
