Dean, matching the dolls head material to the barrel material had to be a nightmare for Parker Bros. In order to match the the various materials you have to segregate them from receiving, to the machinist, to the fitters and finally to the braziers. What do you think the chances a twist dolls head ends up on a 4 blade set of damascus barrels? I believe that the bottom and top ribs would remain with the barrel blanks when received accept possibly for steel barrels. Never heard of fluid pressed steel but I have seen guns marked fluid compressed steel.
