What did gunsmith make besides guns
In colonial times, gunsmiths crafted firearms primarily by hand, utilizing traditional blacksmithing techniques. They would forge and shape metal components such as barrels, locks, and stocks, often using locally sourced materials. Gunsmiths relied on a variety of tools, including anvils, hammers, and files, to create and assemble each part meticulously. The process was labor-intensive and required a deep understanding of both metallurgy and firearm design.

Gunsmiths don't make guns - they may assemble them from previously manufactured components, but they don't actually "make" guns. Factories make guns.
