How to age bare metal

[butlersrangers]

Photos can deceive, but there still seems to be a bit of color in your Krag's receiver and magazine-gate. You can probably just leave things as they are.

To my eye, the finish on the barrel-band and darkness of the handguard are more distracting to the overall appearance. Still, a nice carbine to use and enjoy.
