I restocked an old Bill Large barrel onto a totally new gun. The barrel was already a mottled gun metal gray color and was totally furnished. I'm going to finish the gun shortly, and I like the "used" look. My question is , How many old original Plains rifles were blued as compared to the number that were browned. Is charcoal blue appropriate for a c1840s-50s era rifle?
