It's true, people do hunt with black rifiles.
Absolutely.

***********************************************************************
For eight years, California hunters have been unnerved by the sudden appearance of George Sullivan in the field.
There is nothing peculiar about Sullivan himself when he's out hunting.
It is just his weapons that prompt a fast double-take. Most guns just don't have light, silvery barrels, bright red breech actions, and Kelly green stocks.
But Sullivan's guns are a little unusual in more ways than color. They are the advance guard of a major airplane company's entry into the gun-making field.
