I think the " .303 U.S.Gov" is a misprint and should be .30 U.S. (.30-40 Krag) to match the rifles on the earlier page.
AWS was hoping for a government contract. I'm kind of glad he didn't.
Well that kind of what I was thinking as well. He wasn't going to make 1 or 10 30-40's. He needed an order of 1000 to justify a tool up. Would have been interesting though to see some 30-40's. It seems like he thought it would work in his gun if he could have found the business?
Pure speculation on my behalf.
Are there any prototypes of that configuration? Any documentation of trying to go that way?
