Has anyone considered how many of the barrels were pistol? I'd say 1/3 possibly 1/2 as a wild guess. Is the total fluid steel & pattern welded? Also, tubes were supplied in different states so how many man hours for a rough bored tubes vs. a finished one? For a time, I'd say the worked 7 days a week and the proofhouse was also open 7 days a week.

Kind Regards,
