    Confidence

    Springfield Armory must have been very confident in the quality of their barrels, to offer to star-gauge your new service rifle.

    They were selling such rifles to a limited clientele whose concern for best possible performance would justify such expense. Of course in the interwar years, they were not exactly in a hurry to meet demanding production quotas. Sincerely. bruce.

        Closest thing to the time machine is the internet archives for Culiver's Shooting Pages listing Lanes Tips:



        Find what you want, copy to file and keep. Can't depend on the way back machine always being there.

            Not as much as who they were selling the rifle to, but that they had the confidence in their barrels to pull a service rifle off the rack and the barrel would pass the star gage test rather than star gauging the barrel before it was installed.
