Title: 32 Steps - in manufacture of U.S. Krag barrel
Post by butlersrangers on Apr 18^th, 2019 at 12:55am

This April 26, 1900, American Machinist Magazine article, by E. G. Parkhurst, describes the manufacture process used to make a Krag barrel. Although, not specifically naming the Krag or S.A., there is no doubt this 1900 article is describing the operations and steps in use at Springfield on Pratt & Whitney machines.
