Some of the propaganda had to have been fixed. And then it just bred more propaganda that continues to this day

I visualize the gun makers of the day having a meeting.
"Look, the market is saturated, these guns seem to last forever - we gotta do something". |

When was the first alert published? By whom?

I will guess it was first announced or warned of by ammunition companies.

"Look, these new fluid steel barrels will add at least 30% more profit to each gun we sell. They can also be bored easily by machine. So, we have to convince the market place that those expensive Damascus barrels are not any good. Let's all tell our customers that Damascus is dangerous with smokeless powder. And the barrels could blow up and kill them. They'll believe us. We're the experts. And everybody believes advertising." And so it came to pass... (no Russians were involved in this scam) |

I figured it was an economic decision, but never thought about the possibility of scarcity of tubes after WWI.
