Referring to the editorial note regarding the concentric method of observation when straightening rifle barrels, which appeared with my article, "Drilling, Reaming and Straightening Rifle Barrels," In the April number, I wish to say that In Avis & Co.'s plant in West Haven, Conn., we have nearly thirty barrel straighteners, including beginners. We would not think for an instant of employing a ring straightener, because we know that method is far from being the best. When a barrel straightener uses the ring method, it is because he cannot use the line method, which is more difficult and gives far better results. The ring method simply means lining up one part of the interior surface of the barrel with another part; in other words, straightening barrels at different points but not from end to end. Line straightening, on the other hand, means straightening every inch of the bore of the barrel from end to end. None of the important sporting gun makers would tolerate the ring method of straightening for an instant. Whitneyville, Conn. William H. Avis
Ooh, stuff on manufacturing the Spanish Mauser in this volume as well...
