I am sure some of these changes were done as a cost savings but I'm beginning to believe many of these suble differences we see in frame sculpting early or late guns along with barrel swamping and even differences in trap forends all lead up to getting a gun to a specified weight or to get the balance point were it needed to be.

@Kevin McCormick. When you wrote the piece on RPR did you get to meet him?

I thought that's what the article said. I just read it the other night for the first time coincidentally.
Mr. Runge was unflattering about the conditions at PB in Meriden as i recall. They were very cheap in their dire financial condition. People tripped on badly patched floors, etc.

Ms. Runge, Mr. McCormack is a close friend. He, in fact, met Robert Runge on many visits to the DelGrego shop. I never met Mr. Runge, but I have been friends with the DelGregos since 1972. If you would like to contact Mr. McCormack, email me at wilmrph@verizon.net and I will put you in touch.
