I'm going to attempt to expand this thread yet again instead of starting a new thread. Does anyone know if Parker's Vulcan Steel tubes were made at Vulcan Iron Works, Bradford, England operated by the Thwaites Brothers??

And on another note did Providence Tool Company of Rhode Island make tubes for Winchester or did Winchester source Providence Tool for tubes?


Last, who might have sourced the American Gun Barrel Company for tubes: http://books.google.com/books?id=yQsWAAA...ew+haven,+conn. (see Captain William Henry Avis) ??

Kind Regards,
