Ky, I've used Homer Dangler's solution on several rifles with pleasing results, but on my recent project I had run out and had to buy more solution. The shop was out of Dangler's so I bought Laurel Mountain. The barrel turned out fine, but the tang, being of a different steel, ended up looking a bronze color. Maybe I screwed up a bit, but others have told me they have had the same experience with LM solution.
