Hey Guys, I would like some comparison facts on two rifle stains. I tried Aqua Fortis (AQ) on my first rifle and had pretty good results, but never tried Ferric Nitrate. The green effect one might end up with using AQ is a big drawback for me choosing a stain for my new rifle. I have read that Ferric Nitrate will give similar results, without needing to neutralize after the heating process. I do not know if F.N. can/will also suffer the green effect. So I am asking: 1. Will the colors of the two stains on Curly Maple be similar? 2. Will/can Ferric Nitrate result in the green effect? Any help here would be appreciated. I am leaning towards a dark color for this next rifle.
