While I was putting away the notebook with all my Remington Arms Co. catalogs, I noticed a repro of the 1878 E. Remington & Sons catalog I had gotten in one of the many door prize drawings at an RSA seminar. Thumbing to the section on their Hammer Lifter double, I found they went in to a lot of detail describing the manufacture of their Decarbonized Steel barrels.

I would love to see a video of the rolling of the nine inch bars of steel into barrels. Thanks for that enlightening post, Dave.
