I'd be willing to bet there have been 200+ gun on this forum alone that have been browned with LMF.
(there a sticky on top of this section)
Search for any topic about Browning and you see advice and photo's of guns done with the stuff.
All I've ever done is follow the direction for the browning job, and oiled the barrel after.

I think he's asking about the Laural Mountain wood finishes.
I've used LM Permalyn Sealer and LM Permalyn finish before and it worked okay but I went back to using Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil.
The Tru-Oil just seemed to work more like what I expected a finish to work like.

I've used it on 2 of the 3 guns that I've built and used it in combination with Minwax on my 3rd and I'm very happy with the finish on all of them (though not entirely happy with everything else). :wink:

I use the sealer and like it a lot.
I thin the first two coats by half with turpentine.
Have not used the finish - Chambers oil is my choice.

yup....liked it, used it on 3 rifles, and, on the last walnut...I actually tried my spar varnish applied with OOOO steel wool, then OOOO again after she was dry, then do it again.....but walnut has huge craters to fill in!...I am having fun with all the finishes....they all use rubrubrub techniques~
i am still learning........but the LM products are #1 in my book~

Some people fill the open grain on walnut by applying a light coat of oil to an area and then while it is still wet they lightly sand it.
The sanding dust from the wood mixes with the oil and ends up getting packed into the open grain holes.
Other people, especially those who want a simple oiled finish look just ignore the open grain pockets and finish the wood with several coats of a drying type oil.
