What type of oil for oil blackening
I'm refinishing a couple of Springfield Krag rifles, and I'm wondering what type of oil would work best to give the jet black finish the various parts had. I tried 10W-40 and 5W-30 (as that is all I had around), and after the second try I start getting a brown scum on the parts along with some other colors. I'm assuming this is because of the additives. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Should have said "Oil-Blackening"
Sorry I should have said "Oil-Blackening" instead.
