The finish is Birtchwood Casey Plum Brown barrel finish. Works great, clean part, heat in oven to 275 degrees and then wipe on with a Q tip or cotton patch. Wash with water, very fine steel wool, Then repeat if needed. Two rounds gives good results but three is best. I only did one round on the mounting post and you can see its not as dark. After browning i heat the part back up to 275 and then soak it in oil. If the part is polished you get a better looking finish but I chose to glass blast these parts so the tool would have a little less slippery feel when handling.
I would like to thank you guys for the nice words.
