Do you have to recite "This is my rifle, this is my gun..." while you do it?

It was a common practice in the 70s an 80s among memorabilia forgers to soak replicated Nazis and Cibvil War collectable items in urine to age them.
This was ent to me in an e-mail a few weeks ago
During the Civil War, the acute shortage of nitratesin the South prompted a Confederate official to place the following advertisement in a Selma, Alabama newspaper:
"The ladies of Selma are respectfully requested to preserve the chamber lye collected about the premises for the purposes of making nitre. Abarrel will be sent around daily to collect it. --
John Harrolson, Agent, Nitre Mining Bureau."
The ad inspired the following poem:
John Harrolson! John Harrolson!
You are a wretched creature.
You've added to this bloody war a new an awful feature.
You'd have us think while every man is bound to be a fighter,
The ladies, bless the dears, should save their P for nitre.
John Harrolson! John Harrolson!
Where did you get the notion
To send your barrel 'round the town to gather up the lotion?
We thought the girls had work enough making shirts and kissing,
But you have put the pretty dears to patriotic pissing.
John Harrolson! John Harrolson!
Do pray invent a neater
And somewhat more modest mode of making your saltpetre;
For 'tis an awful idea, John, gunpowdery and cranky,
That when a lady lifts her shift, she's killing off a Yankee.
The poem made it's way to the Union Army, where a
Yankee penned the following addendum:
John Harrolson! John Harrolson!
We've read in song and story
How women's tears through all the years have moistened fields of glory.
But never was it told before amid such scenes of slaughter
Your Southern beauties dried their tears and went to making water.
No wonder that your boys are brave, who wouldn't be a fighter
If every time he fired his gun, he used his sweetheart's nitre;
And vice-versa, what would make a Yankee soldier sadder
Than dodging bullets fired from a pretty woman's bladder?
They say there was a subtle smell that lingered in that powder,
And as the smoke grew thicker and the din of battle louder,
That there was found to this compound one serious objection,
No soldier boy could sniff it without having an erection.

I can't believe someone else didn't have the "real" answer.
Many of the older muzzle loaders were "browned" rather than blued. I have a replica of an 1850 Hatfield that is browned. From what I've read in rather reliable sources, the urine method was rather common.
Use animal fat (not petroleum) and get it hot, and the oil/grease soaks into the metal and makes it resistant to rust

Good Lord.... I got back on today to see if someone had actually responded to this, and I saw "32 Responses" and just started laughing. I don't know if you all noticed, but one guy actually said this is true! Seriously guys, my dad is a funny character, and every once in awhile he will just randomly spit some wierd fact out that he read in a magazine or something, so I am never sure... Ha Ha, I have now joined THR legend for this post! Yay Me!!!

Happy Thanksgiving
I pee on my CZ all the time and it works perfectly. Over 500 rounds without cleaning or anything and it keeps asking for more.

Why would they want old urine? j/k
Felting wool was a common use. It involved a process similar to a part of wine making.
