"Browning" was the finish used to protect the firearm from rusting before "bluing" was used. It is applied in the same manner as rust bluing, which is all that it is; "rusting". However it is rusting that is left in the red oxidized state (ferric oxide)rather than being converted to a black finsh (ferrosic oxide)by boiling in water.In the 1700's gunsmiths applied a salt water solution to the metal get this finish. Nowadays, it can be applied using Birchwood Casey's Plum Brown solution used like rust bluing.
