This will soud strange but I have a old, mid 30's manfacture I think, FN sidelock SXS 12ga with a rather worn out finish. The wood was just cleaned up and it looks good but the barrels are sort of shabby. Some small rust and worn away bluing.
The action is blued and has faded and agged but it looks the way a old shotgun should, at least one that has been used.
So what I would like to do is clean up the barrels some and then protect them without rebluing them.
I like the agged color of the action and if I can get the barrels to look the same that would be my choice.
Any suggestions?
