Jerry,
I'm running low and hunting it myself.  I called the new owners of Muzzle loader building supply they were not carrying it.  I guess I'll wait till Friendship and get it from him.  In the mean time, this is an old post from Jim/James regarding the stain.  I haven't seen him post since we made the move from the old board.

I bought some from him about a month ago. Love it what it does to bring out the wood.

I just talked to Mr. Klein this past Saturday. His orange stain is $4.00 a bottle but the shipping is $4.00. He can ship five bottles for the same price as one. He was more than happy to help me out and talked a long time about staining and other aspects of gun building. I never realized he was into building guns also. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again.

If you can use the stain in quart sizes this is great stuff.  Mine was $25 qt.

 Have you tried powder stains? I have used a yellow and an orange from
W.D. Lockwood & Co for years. It comes in 1 Oz packs, one of the nice things about it is you can adjust the color.

Thank God!!!!!  I was begining to think I was the only one that mixed their own stain out of powdered stuff and monkey'd with the mix to get the color I want.

Is Lockwood's powder a water base or mineral spirits or

[NSBrown]

I have previously read threads that mention using orange as a base stain. Does any one have pictures of the orange before following coats are applied? And then pictures of the stock as the subsequent stains are applied?

I have also heard mention of the use of leather dyes. Which leather dyes (brand names) work best?

Here is a tutorial by Mike Brooks that has details of the procedure.

  Water.  I put it on after rasing the grain a couple of times and sand it back before appling stain.

Check a furniture store for Solarlux, alcohol based.  That's what I've used, about 11 dollars a bottle.  Got some of the yellow from Woodcraft online, but didn't see that they had the orange.  Orded a bottle three months ago through our local woodworkers story and they haven't gotten it yet, so not sure what gives on that front...

 Try as I might I cannot remember where I got mine, Here is the info on Lockwood:
