I suppose I could get the results I am looking for to reduce shine/rust in the field by using multicolor sharpies  |
it's used commonly as a replacement for bluing and used frequently used in the machinery world to case harden and inhibit rust formation by holding oil. the process is a form of oxidation not unlike rust.
on a new barrel where you might lapp the bore after treatment i would consider it. then you have case hardening and potentially a very smooth bore.
