Argo44....gimme a break. Reilly didnt make any WR patent guns. Just like they NEVER made any Scott-Baker patent W&C Scott guns. Sold them, yes. Sold them with their name on the guns, yes. Made them? Like actually made them? ......Not a chance.

Ive seen German & Belgian guns that were assigned A&D patent use numbers, are we to assume that these guns were also sent back to be inspected for adherence and quality control? Highly doubtful.

There are definitely more explanations that make more sense than all of these makers sending guns back to the patent holders for inspection.
