Is Jax Black reusable or should one discard the portion used to soak small parts?

There are two coats of tanic acid and two coats of iron nitrate on the stock. I went back after it this morning with the heat gun on high and a concentrated nozzle. Heated the wood until it made my finger smart in about a second and a half. No decernable color change. While the photos appear...

Well I was thinking the same thing myself after looking at it this evening. I'll try and heat it up some more tomorrow. I got the wood pretty hot to the touch, but maybe not hot enough. I was a bit timid concerned about scorching the wood.

There is a huge thread about this exact subject on an unmentionable board dedicated to unmentionable rimfires. Google that stuff. I read about the process and followed the thread for awhile. When it peaked my interest. Never tried it but from what I read it works well. YMMV

Final whisker sanded the stock on my Kibler SMR. Cleared the work bench and put down butcher paper in preparation for the tannic acid and iron nitrate staining process. I was hoping to do today, but a leaky 20 year old water heater has priority:doh:

Thanks guys for the direction!

First question: what to do with the small flat that runs down the barrel chanel; leave it flat, or taper it to the barrel? Second Question: more asking opinions here; lock plate installed finished as is or sanded, polished and finished?

Welcome aboard from. Mrom the state of Missouri! Retirment I have found is highly underrated. Enjoy!

Spent 2 hours yesterday sanding the Kibler SMR stock with 180g. The 220, 320 , 400g shouldn't take nearly as long as the initial 180g work.

Here is an example of the USPS running efficiently. I live near Kanasa City. I placed an order from Taylor Tools in Columbia MO. The USPS thinks it is a good thing to ship my order to St.Louis back to Springfield MO then to my house. I could have walked to Columbia picked up my order and walked...
