They have had the Owen for over a year and if I remember correctly there was an issue or two with the rifle.

"Does anyone know how many guns Owen built in Sauquoit, and what percentage were Mausers, particularly the lower grade?"

I have no idea how many were built at Sauquaoit but a very small number were Mausers. After the war when Bob Owen was located at Port Clinton there were more Mausers then others. I'm not sure what you mean by "Lower Grade"?
