Open iron Sight blackening soot for SMR?
longcruise:
This is not traditional, but works great. Mask around the sight and shoot it with black flat spray paint. I just cut a slit in a good size piece of cardboard for a mask and spray. It will wear away from loading and cleaning but it takes a while.

I have always used a plane old Zippo lighter. The soot is excellent and if you use a cheap fluid it produces plenty of soot. The best soot, and the most, comes from burning a plastic picnic spoon.

Lots of suggestions. Some more onerous than others.
For simplicity, the dry erase markers are very hard to beat.
Permanent marks put down a shiny finish - not good.
Tim Ault:
Lite a twisted up piece of masking tape you’ll have all the soot you need
Marcruger:
I use Daryl's idea of black dry erase marker, and it works really well. Easy to tough up for sure.
