Often times, I repair, restore and make new RamRods for older sidelocks and kit rifles. I try to stay with good old hickory. If tips are provided that is good but often I have to provide some new ones. The smaller calibers are the biggest challenge. ..... :eek:

Anyway, I'm about to run out of the Brass-Black that I have had for a long time. I know I can buy commercial but got to thinking about what the chemical is and perhaps come up with my own. Obviously I use the Brass-Black to match the older look. Do any of you guys know of a recipe that I might try? If not, what do you guys use?

Any and all info would be appreciated. ....... :)


Be Safe !!!

Cold blue (I use 44-40 ) will turn brass black, tuit suite - provided it's not laquered brass, i.e.
