I always finish before I shoot. I've never tried staining a stock with black powder fouling on it.

Acer's right.  Finish the stock first.  One thing I love about walnut is that many times it doesn't need stain before oil finish.  After the stock is sanded smooth, you can wipe a wet rag over it to get an idea about how the stock will look with only an oil finish.
