Redneck, you may right about the origin of Bofors steel...I first heard the name as a "Bofors gun" from a close friend's dad who was a Company 1st Sergeant in the Marine Corps during WWII, and his description of the special Swedish steel used to make the AA PomPom gun barrel's that saved his ship numerous times during the kamikaze attacks off one of the island assualts he participated in. He had three Landings in the Pacific, after surviving I think it was the initial attack on Midway and later served in Occupied Japan...never would talk much about the war except to comment BS! sometimes whenever a war movie we were watching or talking about was not portraying stuff correctly. He NEVER tolerated the Hollywood glamourazation of either WWII or Korea. Tough old guy is still kicking barely...and a long way from enlisting in 1939 at 17.
