We've already been down this road once before. Few years back a fellow showed up at the Spring Southern claiming he and his company could manufacture new barrels using CNC technology. Because he did this without the necessary handfitting in an effort to keep costs down, the end result was poor at best, although it could have provided a basis for servicable new barrels had someone had the patience and skill to make it work. Some lost money on the deal because orders were not fulfilled. I lost a little bit others lost more, but we all learned something from the experience, and that is these old guns are special because they were machine made with considerable handfitting, and that is why they are no longer made.
