I was fortunate as a kid my grandfather who worked at Colt's in Hftd built a single shot rifle for me. He learned his trade in Germany and arrived here in 1893. I remember that he blackened the barrel, set it in the stock, which he carved, and then removed the wood high spots which the black marked.
