What do I need to buy?

[Joshbruce128]

Complete newbie here so be gentle, please.

Working on a Kibler SMR, plain maple. I am wanting this finish and and need some guidance. For the stock, because it's plain maple, do I need tannic acid AND iron nitrate, or just iron nitrate because there will be little to no curl?

For the metal parts, how would I get the grey/dark grey finish in the picture?

Thanks everyone, I'm sure I will have more questions to follow
