This is the 4th coat of LMF on the .58cal cva mountain rifle. I want at least 2 more coats and then i will experiment with pouring boiling water on the barrel to darken it even more.
that browned up nice... how are you going to seal that?

i use boiled linseed oil on the barrel after i am done and rub in a few coats.
For the stock, i am not sure what i will be doing with it yet. I just stained it with a few coats of BC walnut stain to see if i missed any deep scratches near the butt of the stock. Stock i am going to attept a Sabotloader refinish. I'll need his help/info on how to do it.
Stock has a lot of curl in it so i may end up using aquafortis to bring it all out. I never noticed how much it had until i put the stain on it.
