Brent, I wasn't aware that an article was published about your experience, I would like to see it. Anyway as you already know, after I purchased the remains of RIA # 220892. (Steve Meunier 1903) from you l sent the barrel and action to a highly experienced metallurgist in the field of metal failure. He has spearheaded an intensive study on the subject and has secured a "state of the art" metallurgy lab with award winning status for metal testing and evaluation. Current tests have been nearly a year in process and nearing completion.
