What are some things that a colonial gunsmith would use?

Gunsmith in 1800's were actually called Black Smiths.Most blacksmith's shops were small and they were quite poorly, with little new iron

to make any product at all. The main tools were a forge and bellows, an

anvil, hammers, water buckets,and a small selection of files and tongs.

the reason why was because the every day Black Smith were trying to find a place in the america to settle down and to build a shop.

Gunsmith only cam out in the 1900's for a short wile.

then major corporations took over to create the newer weapons in World War I

And to this day all weapons of the common era are made in factories, but they still use some of the basic concepts of the black smith when crating these modern weapons
