It could be done.
90,000 Parkers recase colored. 60 years at 200 work days per year= 12,000 total work days. 90,000 Parkers divided by 12,000 work days = 7.5 Parkers per work day, disassembled, striped out, buffed, case colored, refitted, reassembled, and returned . That time would include driving back and forth to the industrial shop in Herkimer that did job work case hardening for Del Grego.
What this tells us is that Parker and Remington were very inefficient, because they did 240,000 over 70 years, but their workforce was about 6-7 men in the finishing and final fitting/ case color department, and they only produced 240,000 guns , or 17 per work day with many times the labor force of the single man Del Grego shop.
