Mr. Williamson:

Perhaps you would know this. My 'smith suggested that I coat the tubes with a little oil after I shot it, which I did. I had some "Rangoon Oil" here that I had picked up several years ago from Woodcock Hill. This oil is supposed to leave a protective barrier on the metal even after it is wiped off. In this case, it seems to have also changed the color of the new finish from a more-olive hue to an almost grey tone (which is just fine) but... Is that expected?
