Ron:
I think I have more info on some of the BRNO longarms. I didn't want to overload folks with too much of my steel stories. Now this is from the catalogue so take it with a grain of salt for now. But Adolph does mention using the Anticorro steel in rifles and shotguns and on one occassion someone loaded a 16 bore with 930 grains of black and 930 grains of shot. It burst and they set it out in the weather for a week to see if it would rust. He notes "but rust failed to appear" which makes me guess it had a high chromium content.
By the way Poldi-Kladno was hugh and thought to be somewhat private after the late 1980s change. It could well be that government control/monoply forced a failure and devistated the area. Sound familiar?
Kind Regards,
Raimey
