And from what I have been told for some reason a pregnant woman's urine was 
even better to brown the old guns.  Hacker Martin was a very well known black 
powder gun maker, living up the road a couple of miles from where we live.  It 
is what he used.  There is an article on his gun making in the Foxfire series 
of books.
