That just may be correct. However, we can’t be too sure regarding the factory records because there is no key to decipher some abbreviations. All we can do is interpret the various entries as best as we can. Dead Shot does fall within the year the gun was made and the patterns tested. I will have to peruse TPS this afternoon and see if there is any pattern test info within those hallowed pages.
