I've got a reproduction civil war musket. As with the originals, all of it's metal is "Armory Bright". This looks good over the fireplace, but is not the best finish for hunting. The last couple of seasons, I wrapped it in strips of bur-lap to cut down on the shine. But, this is a real chore to do, and to keep it on throughout the season. So now, I'm thinking of making this rifle look tarnished and used.
Any suggestions on how to make a NEW musket look like it's 140 years old ?
Are there any shops that offer an aging service ?
Thanx!
Please, no suggestions that I buy another gun for hunting. This rifle is a great shooter, suits my style, and has already brought home the venison.
