Jeffrey, I forgot to mention that although the guns were assembled and fitted out in St. Joseph, the barrels and receivers were manufactured abroad (Italy, as I recall). Good Ole American hard maple, though(!)

I knew about the Italian barrels, I had the impression the frames and the rest were made by Hatfield. There is an interview from 1987 I found and read online.
