I cannot add much to Ken 61 and canvasbacks comments.
I have done many barrels both in brown, black and white and
BLUED STEEL. Are we all talking about browning and black-white finishing?. I have a Chemistry-Pharmacy degree and it is a challenging process and usually each barrel takes modifications of the process. Dr. GADDY'S PROCESS is the best way to start although he goes into unnessary steps in my opinion. Drew has some of my work on his site for you to view.
I will be happy to give some instructions and ideas if you wish, but it is not really a process you will want to involved with for a one time venture.
