That is breathtaking work. Nice job by the contributors assembling the material. Just superb photography.

Now..... why do we automatically pay more for fluid steel barrels? It really has to make one question that premise.

George: scroll down about halfway to the 1891 Proof House Trial (prior to the brainwashing:banghead: ) for a cost comparison of pattern welded and new fangled fluid steel barrels

Thanks so much Drew. The more I read about the subject, the more I realize that I don't know diddley about the different composites. There is just so much variation. But I do know that there is great beauty in those barrels that a black steel tube just doesn't have.
Thanks for your education efforts.

I really like those. Thanks very much.
