I guess you think they sent their best barrels to America to be put on cheap priced guns ?
It doesnt matter what I think....I want to know what you are thinking

C'mon Joe....a Lefever G grade is by no means a best gun and yet some can have outstanding damascus barrels on them...Even H grades with twist barrels are very nice and by no means "cheaply" made.
Still, tell me where you got your info stating that the apprentices made the barrels for cheap-mid-low-&good guns and the "masters" made the best barrels only for the best guns.
