Do NOT use iron Nitrate on Walnut. Continue sanding to 320, seal, and finish with your choice of finish. This is walnut...

Knots??????

Depends on what you are after...

Sand back the iron nitrate application, then stain.

Use them by the thousands for my unmentionable fowler.

Probably will be well over 30!

Unless you're going to start clubbing folks in the head with that buttstock, you have no worries about the grain therein.

As Farragut said, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."

Pecatonica River Longrifle supply.

Drill it out and file outside diameter, and reuse. It's plenty long enough. My bet is when you dropped it, damage occurred, this is VERY thin metal...

Yes.

As you said "LMF is very versatile", and their directions reflect that. I believe there are as someone else stated "more than one way to skin a cat" I'm sure my method wasn't exactly by the written directions, but very close. I do know it very easily accomplished what I was after. I myself...

I believe heavier coats of product has more of a factor than time on coarseness of finish. Wiscoaster is also perhaps carding(scaling) to much. He says he is using steelwool. I used burlap and had wonderful success. Also have heard builders using denim.

It's obvious you have online access. Go to LMF website and read the online product directions. Much more thorough information there. I believe this was mentioned in your thread that included your rewrite of their included instructions...

Whatever you say. I guess my understanding of LMF written directions and English language is totally wrong. PLEASE RE-READ LMF DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS I JUST DID TO LET YOU KNOW... I also read your convoluted re-interpretation of said instructions.

read directions again please. #1) first coat allow to work 3-24 hours #2) second coat allow to work 3-12 hrs #3) scale or "card" #4) repeat procedure to achieve desired result recommend you use bathroom shower to increase humidity and tempurature. Patience with this process pays off!! I know...

Barrel needs to have final fit before tenons get drilled. You may need to move barrel in channel for a perfect fit, if they are predrilled in tenon, your predrilled holes in stock may not line up with predrilled holes in tenons, therefore tenons are not predrilled from kibler, at least on SMR.
