I don't know if this thread is "stale", but Steve223, you might try Griffith Silver Black. It works a little differenty than Liver of Sulfer and a different shade of black-grey. Another product you might try for a different look is Casey's gun blueing paste. You warm the piece (not hot) and slather the stuff on. It gives a nice warm brown-black color.

Glad it's working for you. Never cared for L of S stinking up the shop, plus you have to keep the supply of chunks from air, the mixing, bla, bla, bla.
