RE: Question about rifle kit
The Laurel Mtn. brown doesnt require degreasing or any type of heat, you just swab it on and wait for it to work and card it off with a wet cloth and swab on another coat and repeat until you get the finish you want. Its the easiest I have seen. It can be sort of slow in low humidity, but unless you are in a hurry its real easy to use. Like coondog says, the reward is the finish. Ive used both and dont think I will go back to the ones that require heat. Its so much easier to cold brown and you can get a completely uniform finish without streaks or light spots. Just takes longer. I have browned a barrel in just one day with Laurel Mtn, when the temp and humidity was high though. Whatever you use, make double sure you dont get any of it in your bore.
