Use saturation controls on the layer to desaturate it back to a true neutral gray. Very often, when I'm working with fine details like this, I convert to LAB color and work solely on the Lightness plate, which is truly B&W. RGB / LAB / RGB conversion is lossless, just remember to always tell Photoshop to keep layers.
Hello,
The max texture size UVs is far greater than 2048 x 2048 pixels.

"The 2048x2048 limititation is just for the OpenGL 3D preview. The renderers always use the full resolution of the texture."
I may not have the encoding of the reference link correct, but…

I routinely use UV textures far larger than 2048x2048 when appropriate. Appropriate would be for objects that are going to be very close to the camera on a very large render.
cheers,

This is why this forum is so great, I would never have
gotten this far without the nudging and nitpicking.
Ha, you don't know how much of hard work that is!
About the meandering scratches I agree (as mentioned before). For scratches, rust and other such signs of usage you have to think about how they got there, especially with a gun which is something you rather keep clean.
(and thanks to "gsb". I even tried the forum search, but couldn't find that important piece of information).

Here's the latest test render. I'm still working on the barrel map mostly,
but I keep adjusting and resizing things to more closely match the movie image.
I can almost guarantee the movie prop is finished with paint and Rub and Buff.
If you don't know what Rub and Buff is check this out:

@ZooHead , Some really nice work.
Some thoughts for consideration:
The sheen on the wood handle looks waxy or plastic. Combined with the strong weight of the metal, I envision for the handle the deep texture of wood with an oiled-rubbed finish. The wear-and-tear on the metal could apply to the handle as well
PS. Great to learn about Rub'n Buff. I have a picture frame I want to dress up.

The grip will look better when I uv map it, it still has Subdev on it.
Good eye as usual @Hasdrubal
