It was simply some stuff from a Birchwood Casey kit I had picked up from a local gun store. I think it was something like "super blue" maybe?
In person it looks pretty good, but the pictures above with camera flash and on macro, makes it look bad/non uniform. In person, it looks pretty uniform and dark.
I did this several years ago around the time I fixed up my grandfather's old cheap 12ga double. No doubt there are better processes available, but I am happy with the results compared to what I started with. I also redid a cheap .22 bolt action for my wife's dad with the stuff. It worked pretty well provided provided I polished the steel to a near chromelike finish prior to applying the blueing agent.
