Bro. Raimey: Bofors was of course best know for their heavy ordnance, esp. the 40mm anti-aircraft and 37mm anti-tank guns. They did provide barrels for Sako rifles in the 60s into the 70s.

I have never read about a U.S. maker using Bofors 'rough forged tubes' but would be very interested to know more. It appears Bofors used the Siemen-Martin process and it is likely comparable Belgian tubes were cheaper.

Correct- I have a pre-Garcia SAKO 759 Forrester in .243 a Mauser style BA, and it has a Bofors Ordnance Steel 22" medium weight barrel. It is the last BA rifle I own (including several .22 M52 Winchesters) that I would ever part with. Strange, I have never heard of a Sandvik Steel gun barrel- do they exist??

Fabrikdirektro Dr. C. Schramm in Stahl & Eisen

May have been instrumental in the resurgence of Witten's Gußstahlwerk's prominence in steel technology.

Interesting that there was a Johann Gottgetreu Werner in Suhl from the 1850s also of maybe the name was just mixed?
